Since my pump and tank are driving us nuts,,, we've decided to look into getting a new pump and tank, but we have some questions. I'm sure we could ask the guys at home hardware but they're trying to sell it so i just want to make sure.
Here's my question: What size and/or horse power pump and tank would be right for our house?
Our house is a small bungalo (one level) house. We have a basement but it's only 5 feet high and is used for storage and nothing else. We're a familly of 5. 2 adults, and 3 kids (ages 8, 12, 14). Our well is a shallow well and from what everyone tells us, no one in our neck of the woods ever runs out of water. We're tapped into a really good vein and we're surrounded by lakes. We don't use it to water gardens or sprinklers or anything like that. Just for the house.
Also: any opinions on those pumps that come with the tank built on it? Are they any good? They seem cheaper but do they work well? ALso ,,, are their any kinds of pump that we should avoid???
Thanks to all for your help
