mirage Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Is there anybody using well water to supply the house with an automatic pressure switch control. I would like to know if you had any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruit Trader Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Its extremely successful if your water is clean enough, pump is up to the job and sufficient pressure storage provided to reduce pump cycling. We had a pressure control system down on the farm but changed to secondary pump and tank because there was need to remove all sediment from the well water.

Thanks for the reply, yes the water is crystal clear and looks very clean. We are very close to the Mekong I suppose that might make a difference.

This can be overcome by using a bladder tank for storage or adding a float switch in a buffer storage tank. Both around the same price but the latter is less maintenance. The latter would need to include an additional pump from the buffer tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
