QUESTION:I'm working on putting in Cement pads for my Well and 5000 gal Water Storage
Tank. The tank is about 40' away from the Well.
I want to make sure I make the Pads big enough for the equipment. I'd like
to just have the Tank there on its own and then have lines back to the Well
Pad for the Feed and Supply. So at the Well Head I'd have the Pump in the
Well, the Buster pump for the stored water, the pressure tank and all of the
lines to the irrigation, house, etc.
Is there any rule of thumb on how far away the booster pump and Pressure
tank should be from the storage tank?
If the booster pump and Pressure tank are at the well head, they would be a
foot or so lower in elevation then if they were at the tank itself.
ANSWER: Since it is all under pressure elevation isn't going to be all that
great a factor. The pressure switch usually is on the exit part of the
storage tank, but since pressure is constant till you get to the
booster pump anywhere before it should yield satisfactory results. You
should consider a pop-off valve on the well head for the "just in case
factor" like the switch not kicking the pump off.
