I've read previous discussions on this, and am still confused. One person stated that the filter housing could burst and drain the well or burn up the pump if placed before the pressure tank, why wouldn't this happen after the pressure tank as well. I can't see the pressure switch making much difference if the pressure tank had an open 1" line running full pipe. is there any sort of safety switch like a low pressure switch upstream of the filter, or a wet floor switch that would shut off the pump?
