I've come up with a quick drawing of one of the I'm sure many ways to
connect up our well to our two poly storage tanks and our 2 houses.
http://tinyurl.com/ytprmw
So everything in the drawing would be in the Pump house.

The well Will Typically feed the 2 Tanks, I have sensors and automatic
valves to handle the filling of the 2 Tanks.

In the Event of a Issue with Either of the Tanks, I have the well
connected to the house feeds with a NC valve.

The main Irrigation line would be coming into the Pump House to feed the 2
Sprinklers. Its feed from elsewhere, though I wanted to be able to feed it
from this system if there was an issue with its Supply.

Seems like you typically filter the water as it goes to the house. I
originally had the filter as the last thing before it went to the 2 hours,
though typically most filtration systems are not much larger then 1". The
required pipe ( they didn't tell me the flow) for one of the houses is 1
1/2" pipe. This house is new and has a Fire Sprinkler system in it. So to
get the Flow and the right pipe size I thought to just filter the water
that goes into the main Storage tanks. then I can suck the filtered water
out via the 1 1/2" pipe and distribute it to the houses.

So does this look like a good system? Should I make any changes?

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you,

There are so many flaws here I don't know where to begin.
So let's start here....
1. Why in god's name do you show a 2500 gallon and a 5000 gallon tank?
A typical home on a well system will have a 50-200 gallon tank.
2. Why are the storage tanks at the end of the system instead of the
beginning? This is completely backwards.


If you want advice I suggest you take a different angle, and I mean this
with all due respect. Start by telling us what the GPM or load demands are
for each house. In simple terms...how many bathrooms for each house?
Also since you are apparently trying to irrigate with a well, not generally
recommended, how many acres or square feet are there to sprinkle?
Also for clarity and the drawing's sake, drop the '1490' and '1492' stuff.
Without explanation we assume these are addresses.
Why not just simply say 'house #1' and 'house #2' ?
