I am trying to repair a water system feeding a ranch There is a spring coming from the mountain probably a couple of hundred feet above the ranch. There are three 5000 gal tanks located below the spring and three more 5000 gal tanks. below the upper three. From there the three tanks drop down to the ranch and pastures. All the three tanks that are together are plumbed in series and then feed to the tanks below, which are also in series and then feed to the ranch.
The questrions are without having to go up the mountian and open and close valves all the time,
1. how do you plumb the system in a way that all the tanks can be filled without the upper tanks over filling the tanks below them.
2. How can the tanks shut off when filled?
3. How can you maintain consistent pressure as you drop in elevation from tanks to tanks to ranch.
4. How do you have the excess water circulate into the system and release excess water automatically and maintain a full system. Are there any books or literature where I can learn more in getting an idea on how to make this system work?
