I apologize if this question has been previously answered, I did a simple search and it kept coming up with unrelated topics.
So before I get to my question let me give a quick rundown of what I have now and what I will end up with in the end. Right now all I have is a drilled well, no pump or anything else for the time being. What I will end up with is a submersible pump placed into well that will attach to a submersible 2500 gal cistern which will also have a submersible grundfos constant pressure pump that will then feed a small 5 gal pressure tank in the house.
Ok, now for my question (which is probably a silly one). I would like to do all of this in stages but would like to have a yard hydrant next to the well head (which is also next to detached garage) for misc use before completing the entire thing. Is it possible to install the hydrant just passed the well pump with a check valve in between them and that be all? Does the well pump supply all the pressure to the hydrant by itself without any pressure tank or switch?
