Hey there new to all this. I have a 15 gpm well in my pasture and my pressure tank is in my house 300' away. I am hoping to tee in very close to the well head and put a valve/spigot a couple feet away to water wine grapes 500' in the opposite direction and uphill 30 feet max.
I've read that if there's a check valve at the pressure tank that would need to be removed but I don't think there is one at the tank because I think that's the check valve there in the picture. So I'm wondering if I can just tee in right after it.
What do I need to do? I know I'll need to shut off the pump and drain the line as well as I can, but what else? Do I need to dig down to tee in underground? Or can I do it at the exposed PVC in the photo? Or should I do it right after the check at the
steel? I live where it gets down to 20 degrees at the coldest.
My plan is tee-->new check valve-->spigot-->500' +30' elevation to the grapes which have 300 1/2 gph drip emitters
