Hi all!!
This is my first post as I am a new member.
While I have read many closely related posts on this site, none seems to quite answer my questions. So here goes...........
I just had a shallow well installed (40' with submersible 1 hp Goulds pump) for irrigation only, and recently completed the irrigation installation.
I understand the need for a pressure relief valve (water hammer issues and deadheading the pump) but my question is how to plumb it in?? I have a large valve box at the well/pump outlet, so I believe it should be installed there.
Do I get a 1" (that's the mainline size) or step it down to a 3/4"?
Suppliers?? Plastic, Brass other??
Where/how do you plumb the water discharge for the relief side? to the ground??
I believe that it will most likely be set for 75 psi as the discharge side is approximately 60 psi. Correct?
Any help on this is GREATLY appreciated, and I look forward to any and ALL responses!!
