Hello. I am so happy to have found this forum.
We live out of town on a small acreage and have our own water.
We recently replaced our pressure tank, which was an expenive, but relatively easy job.
When we bought the house, things were set up so that the irrigation water bypassed the house's filtration system, which makes sense.
However, in order to be able to water my horses in the winter, we moved the hose down (we have a very nice cinder block pump house) to the pressure tank and attached it to the "faucet" that one uses to drain the tank for maintenance.
Now that we have a brand new tank, I want to be sure to do everything "right". I'm not sure why, but it just seems like a bad idea to be drawing water this way.
So, my question is: Is it ok to use this method to draw water from our well via our pressure tank? We don't need it in the winter anymore, just for irrigation.
Thank you in advance for any advice.
