Hello,
WoW! I am glad I found this forum. I've been doing a lot of reading, and I really think there are some great folks posting replies here. THANKS in advance.
So, would any of you Pros out there like to make a recommendation on which tanks are better then the others and why you think so?
Here is my situation;
I've never had a well, and I have just bought a property that has a well as it's only source of water.
I am not sure what the condition of the well is, as I have not yet taken over the property. The property is part of an estate sell off. So, the realtors have little information to give me. They have told me that there is a Submersible pump in the well, and that it was new about 5 years ago. However, the land has been vacant for the past 3 years. They have also told me that the tank was stolen, so I know it, and probably the pump, will have to be replaced.
After some light research, I am considering a Flotec pre-charged tank, but am not sure what size to get. If I understand things right, I will first need to know how much the well can produce. Right??
The use of the well will be for myself and maybe one other in an RV, so the amount of water usage should be low compared to the use in an average home. However, I do plan to keep the lawn and landscaping alive and growing!
The reason I like the Flotec, is because the water does not make contact with the metal of the tank, and I believe this will increase the life of it.
I am sure that I am looking forward to a lot of grief, but I am looking forward to the challenges of getting this well system operational.
I am also looking forward to your responses and opinions.
