I think our catchment pump is nearing the end of it's life and it's time for me to start researching replacements. Our Grundfos has been a champ but I was wondering about lower power options. It's a well pump and the lights dim and the house practically shakes everytime it roars into action. Since we're not pumping water from below the ground it seems overbuilt for our application.
Follow-up question, if I replace the pump, do I wait for the old pressure tank to fail or do I pro-actively replace them both at the same time? I wouldn't mind having a larger pressure tank but also not sure if I have the space or money for it.
Last question- I'm not impressed with our water pressure even when new filters are installed. Feel free to insert commentary and experience here.
