I'm getting the well system in my home back in working order and breaking it off the household feed for use as outside water sources and irrigation.
I have an existing pressure tank that I can use, 36 gallon Sears
390.29161 - I need to test the air bladder which I'm in the process of tonight.In the event that I've got the same air pressure in the morning that I had when I refilled the air I'll need to know the PSI that the bladder should be filled to while OFF SYSTEM and no water in the tank.
Anyone have any ideas how much pressure should be in them?
I'm hoping to not have to replace the tank and to avoid that expense and to only have to work on a new jet pump. Replacing both would double the costs.
As for the pump, I'll be using a 1/2HP convertible jet pump. Pretty standard stuff and the lowest HP I seem to be able to get. I really shouldn't need more than 10GPM at any given time.
BTW, irrigation would be a drip system covering the flower beds and possibly a small veg garden, just in case you're wondering.
Alot of rambling for a little question (how much pressure in the air bladder, that is) but I figured I'd explain what my needs are and what I'm doing just in case anyone wanted to kick further input.
