...so I took the well mans suggestions. I have 2 challenger pressure tanks (pc-144) under my house,...just installed, to replace a blown goulds tank burried in my front yard. The installers suggestion was to also install 2 model pc-88 tanks...one under each of the other two homes on the well to smooth out their water flow, and since finding a super deal online on the pc-88's, I have ordered two of them, which he will install. Now Im asking for suggestions on a constant pressure valve (csv), proper installation in my case, (order of setup is my well, single line from well to manifold valve serving two other homes located between the well and the tanks, and from there, same single line runs into my home where the two pc-144 tanks are located), AND...also, a new well pump in my future, and going by what the well man says, not a floating stack unit like the goulds that is currently in the well. I have very clean water, no sand, and he says that a fixed stack pump will last longer (I want a franklin motor only). Anyway, my useage...my home, just me, with the occasional guests (usually weekly, fri, sat and sunday, with 3 children), second home, single nephew with 4 kids every weekend, third home, my mom, with numerous guests. heavy to moderate water useage on all 3 homes. Current pump...goulds 10ej10422, 1 hp, 10gpm, installed in 1993. Well, 225 ft depth, pump set at 205, spring fed, tested at 14 gpm during a hot dry summer. CSV and new pump will be installed next spring.
