I just bought my first house with a well. While the water tastes great, it appears that the flow to the bath tubs leaves a lot to be desired. I'd like to add a whirlpool tub in the house soon, so I am keeping this in mind (need about 80 gallons for the model I am looking at.)
Now, the house is plumbed as follows:
well pump -> 44gallon storage tank (WellXTrol) -> filter -> UV -> water softener -> delivery
Not knowing well systems at all, it would **seem** that a better way to do this would be this:
well-> filter -> UV -> water softener -> storage tank -> delivery
When there is a large demand for water now, the pressure drops across the filters and softener.
It also occurred to me that if the pump really wants to "see" a storage system right inside the house, that I could add another storage tank after the water softener. The purpose of this would be to "source" water when there is a large demand (high flow faucet at the whirlpool can deliver 50 gallons a minute.)
Thanks for any pointers or advice.
