I have a 2 gpm well ( along with all of my neighbors). The pressure tank is a 36 gallon bladder one. We run out of water often and the pump controller cuts out. I propose to put a 119 gallon one in its place and put the 36 gallon one in parallel in the garage - 8' away on same level.
Does this sound like a good idea?
Also, the pump pressures up the 36 gallon tank in less than a minute from "0". Should I throttle it down, replace it with a smaller one, or?
Also, there is a check valve in the well line just before it connects to the tee at the base of the tank. There is uite a vibration when the pump shuts off. Should I take it out?
Appreciate any suggestions.
