Which submersible did you go with? How big a tank?

Cary, In your schematic above, what if we eliminated the irrigation component and changed the word "house" in your diagram to "second cistern"? What would that system look like? And could you please explain a little more about using the PK1A at the well in conjunction with the Cycle...

I thought I might use a timer system for the well pump to "sip" water in small increments over a 24 hour period, similar to a Well Manager approach, as I don't want to have any risk of running dry in the well itself. Maybe this approach doesn't work?

Thanks, Cary. My yield is such that I think we will only draw from the cistern, but useful to see all the options.

Well that settles it. Been watching your videos. Really helpful. Thanks for your help. Will be in touch.

Exactly. Thanks. The houses (and the cisterns) are several hundred feet apart with the well located between the houses. So since I'm running power to the submersible pump in the well, can i wire the Cycle Sensor so that it sits near the well? That way both users could access it. Obviously I...

Thanks, Cary. I think I didn't explain myself clearly (or I'm slow to understand your response). One pump, two cisterns. So I'd need floats for both cisterns, yes? But only one cycle sensor since there is only one well pump. Am I on the right track?

Cary, Spoke with a gal in your shop today who was very helpful as we were discussing how best to deal with a low yiled well. I stumbled on this forum post and Voila! here you are talking about the very same thing. Anyway, my question to you is - how would the above proposed setups differ if...
