I have an 80 gal. pressure tank located at my wellhead with a pressure switch. Works fine. I want to move the pressure tank into the house, which is something like 120 feet of 1.5" pipe "downstream" from the wellhead, and leave the pressure switch in place at the wellhead. The goals are to downsize the pumphouse by getting rid of the pressure tank, re-locate the pressure tank to an area where it can be better protected from the elements, and improve the in-house water pressure.
I do not want to move the pressure switch from the wellhead - trenching for the control line would complicate this project by many orders of magnitude.
Another way to put this is: Can the pressure switch and the pressure tank be located in different places and must the pressure tank be located at the wellhead? Will moving the tank closer to the appliance improve the in-house water pressure? Will it kill the pump?
