Maybe I was not clear. I threw together this Drawing.

I have the Well Feeding the Storage Tank.

Then I have from the Tank a Booster Pump, Pressure Switch and Pressure Tank,
then a Line out to the house.

Where 'should' or where could I put the Booster Pump, Pressure Switch and
Pressure Tank? I'd like to put it next to the well head, which is about 40'
away from the storage Tank.

Thank you,

I'm working on putting in Cement pads for my Well and 5000 gal Water
Storage
Tank. The tank is about 40' away from the Well.

I want to make sure I make the Pads big enough for the equipment. I'd
like
to just have the Tank there on its own and then have lines back to the
Well
Pad for the Feed and Supply. So at the Well Head I'd have the Pump in the
Well, the Buster pump for the stored water, the pressure tank and all of
the
lines to the irrigation, house, etc.

Is there any rule of thumb on how far away the booster pump and Pressure
tank should be from the storage tank?

If the booster pump and Pressure tank are at the well head, they would be
a
foot or so lower in elevation then if they were at the tank itself.

Any Suggestions or diagrams of external tank hookups would be great!

Thank you!


Let's go backwards. From the tank to the pressure pump, run a line one
size larger than the intake on the pressure pump. Tee into this with
the discharge from the well pump. This is assuming the well discharge
doesn't have to go into the tank for treatment or settling first.
