Today the men from the company that installed the well on our property 8 years ago are coming out to give it a bit of a check-up. We're concerned that the pressure tank is not holding pressure well, and is therefore causing the booster pump to cycle on and off way too often, which in turn drives up our electric bill. Questions today will center around what we can do to make the whole system more energy efficient (less powerful booster pump? Two pressure tanks instead of one, to reduce the load on the booster pump? Replacing the one faulty pressure tank, if in fact it's found to be faulty?).
I'd also like to find out how we will do if the power ever goes out. Our holding tank of 4,000 gallons of water (!) sits above the house and should gravity-feed in case of a power cut, but that's something I'd like to know for sure before the unforeseen happens.
Should be an educational morning.
