I typically 'run out' of water by the end of one clothes washing load if there have been a couple of showers run prior. This has always been the case since I lived here and have adjusted living style to compensate. The well man that drilled it years ago said that this matches the recorded output logged when drilled years ago.
I have heard that there is some device that I can wire into the well pump motor that senses when the motor is unloaded (water low in well) and shuts off the pump motor. Then, after a time interval, it turns on the pump and then cycles off when unloaded again. The idea, as I understand it, would be to get a large holding tank, (not pressure tank) and let the pump fill it as it can. ANother pump wold provide pressure in the home on an as needed basis from that storage tank. This way, I am collecting water during off peak uses and saving it for later.
Is there such a device? What is it called and can I get it from McMasters or similar?
Thanks for any advice.
