About Anthony - The Plumber
Expertise

I can answer most questions in the field of plumbing home repair for the inside or outside property of a home including irrigation systems, septic systems, well water systems, recirculation systems and I can address these questions from a beginning plumbing standpoint or for someone who has more advanced skills.

Are you working on an addition or remodelling? Need some bathroom or kitchen design ideas?

Run your questions by me since I enjoy that challenge of remodelling & new construction projects.

Experience
I have worked on a variety of major projects including Home Depot as an outsourced Project Manager tasked to repair the fire system at the Fullerton/Placentia store and distribution center in Orange County. I believe in simplifying any task I am assigned in order to avoid wasting time and material, while I always look for the simplest solution possible to the issue and then I execute my plan. Having lead many construction crews, large and small, I have been involved in residential and commercial repair and remodel projects including medical facilities, new home construction, high rises and apartment complexes. Building maintenance work in condominium complexes from Playa del Rey to Beverly Hills to the Hollywood Hills are a speciality. I have completed many maintenance work projects at complexes great and small.

Plumbing in the Home - shallow well to bladder pressure tank hook-up


Expert: Anthony - The Plumber - 7/4/2009

Question
We have a shallow well which provides good water volume.  We plan on using one pump near the well to pump to a 2000 liter (~500 gallon) holding tank and to pump water around our garden.

We plan on having an Espa Alfa 1250M centrifugal pump located at our home (11 meters away) which draws water from the holding tank onto a 150-liter (~35gallon) air bladder pressure tank, then through a Waterco Micron W300 filter, then through the home.  

I plan on putting a check valve just before the Espa pump, and then the pressure gauge and adjustment switch in line to the pressure tank.

Will this work?  Any suggestions before I go ahead and see what happens?

Thank you.

Answer
David,

Sorry I didn't answer this question for you right away.

I have been waaaay too busy.

The only suggestion I have is make sure you have dedicated electric
circuits for all of these pumps and connection so as not to experience
loss of service because of all the new water demand.

Hope this helps.


Regards,


Anthony
