In response to Re: two cabins/pressure tank systems- 1 well pump?
One well pump is capable of pumping enough water for both pressure water systems. The trick is to wire both tanks to control one pump, since each pressure tank sends its start and stop signal to the pump according to the used water and decreased pressure. Two methods could be used to effectively overcome the issue electrically, but they are complicated and can cause overheat symptoms and chance of fire, so aren't recommended for the lay person. Contact a LICENSED Electrician. : Is it possible to wire a single well pump to control two separate pressure tank systems in two separate cabins? Any help would be appreciated. : chris
