Hi.
My grandpa's finally agreed to replace the 50+ yr old water lines.
(WOOHOO - a shower with water pressure!!!! doing happy dance)
The old pipes are so full of hard water deposits , pressure and flow is almost non-existent. If you point the hand held shower head at the ceiling, it doesn't even spray.
We've never done this so I'm hoping someone with experience working with well water systems might offer a bit of advice?
We'll be running all new lines, installing a new pump, and installing a water softener at the bigger house.
We're thinking 3/4" pipe from the well to the T, and 1/2" pipe from the T to both houses. Does that sound about right?
What size pump would provide (LOTS of) enough pressure given the distance from the well? Will the water softening system effect pressure?
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
thank you.
