I would like to rework our cottage water supply system. The old pressure tank bladder has ruptured and I have purchased a new replacement tank. I have a couple of questions about the re-fit.
1. I am going to be relocating the jet pump from the cottage which is approximately 20 feet above the lake to a point which is approximately 6 feet above the lake, this to eliminate the sound of the pump running in the cottage. It is currently being operated in a deep well configuration with two supply lines attached between the pump and the jet(venturi) with a single line from the jet(venturi) to the lake. I will be converting the pump to operate in a shallow well configuration using a single supply line with the jet(venturi) attached directly to the front of the pump.
2. My question is about relocating the pressure tank to the new pump location or leaving it at the cottage level. If I relocate the tank to the lakeside location will I have suffient pressure at the cottage to run the water appliances, toilet, shower, tub, washing machine and faucets?
Or
Would it be better to leave the pressure tank at the cottage level and only relocate the pump and the associated wiring to the lakeside location?
Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.
