I have an existing pressure tank hooked up after the well service line. It then goes to a tee, one direction to my irrigation system and the other to my house line. The problem is when the irrigation runs the pressure switch cycles the pump to come on every 45 seconds or so. what i plan on doing is getting a larger pressure tank do the under sizing of it at the time of construction, but i want to relocate the pressure tank to my garage which is located on the other side of the house, approx 50 feet away from the existing pressure tank location. My questions are:
1. If i move the pressure tank to the new location away from the irrigation line, will the pressure tank still function properly, assuming there is a check valve before the well/pump service line?
2. Will the pump continuously run since the pressure tank is now not prior to the irrigation outlet line as it presently is hooked up?
My assumption is the pressue will be equal throughout the system and the pump will only come on once the pressure drops no matter if it is before the irrigation hook up or after. I have pictures to help explain but am not sure how to post.
Thanks
Bob
