Hey Bob, Thanks for the Input. I'll try to add some more details.

We are required to have a 2500 gallon static tank for Fire Safe Standards
for a Hydrant Hookup, then another 300 for the Fire Sprinklers in the house.
We also have flakey Power and a Poor well. The well can irrigate Sprinklers
for 20 minutes and run the well dry, Stop for 5 minutes and it will run for
another 20 minutes. So we want to store the water and fill the tanks during
the evening when the consumption of water around us is lower. I have
automated control over the filling and they would only fill in Alternating
10 minute fill, 10 minute wait intervals during the specified fill window.
The 5000 gives us 2500 for domestic usage and 2500 for the fire safe
standards requirements.

The 2500 for the irrigation is to separate out the Domestic from the
Irrigation. We have 2.5 acres and are not 100% sure what will be on the back
2 acres of the property. All outside faucets and sprinklers are connected to
the 2500 tank. Its in this picture as I'd like to use it as a reserve if
there is an issue with the 5000 tank. Also the Front and back lawn
sprinklers are fed from this location. This was done from the previous
owner. The 2500 tank has its own Booster pump and pressure tanks. With a
well as our only option (as it is also for all the vineyards around us) I
don't see any other way to irrigate then to store the water and irrigate
from the storage?

Yes the 1490 and 1492 are the house numbers. For us it was easier to read
the numbers as we'd fight over who is house #1 and who is #2 (-; You didn't
like the house Pictures? hehehe

I have not been in contact with the Fire sprinkler guy is a while and it
does not say in the Spec's I have what GPM they need, though the point they
left off for us to hook up the domestic supply was 1 1/2" and said we need a
booster pump from the Storage tank that would accommodate the 1 1/2" line. I
believe it was a 1hp pump requirement.

Thanks again for your comments.

Each house has 2 Baths, kitchen and Laundry facilities.

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' ?
