I have an 8yr old house with a drilled well (185'/30gpm) and typical pressure tank & switch. We have a new freestanding garage-top apartment very near our well head and quite far from the pressure tank of the main house (125'). I assume we need to dedicate a pressure tank & switch to the new apartment and it seems sensible to connect to the well head for the new supply. I replaced the main house pressure tank and installed a water softener last year so I should be capable of hooking up the new supply to the apartment. What I need help with is how make the power connection and if I need any special valves in either line because both houses will use the same well simultaniously at times. Curious how the power works, if one tank needs to run the pump and say the other runs low and needs to turn on the pump, how will this work? Maybe I'm complicating things. I appreciate any and all help and instruction! Thank you
