At what level does your catchment have to be....

P.S.
A 20Gal equivalent bladder tank is, IMHO ridiculously small. That is the size I would expect to see on a small irrigation well used just as a buffer for the irrigation pump. But then I'm not on catchment and there may be catchment issues I'm not aware of. I have been dealing with well water for 25 years.

Also, I can't advise on costs as I don't know. You do get what you pay for and Home Depot is probably not the best place for a punp. They also don't cary the best tanks but the pump is usually a larger investment. I can't recomend a pump as your use is different from my experience. I'm sure you can get by with much less of a pump than me as I have a much greater lift as I have a well.

My bad! It's actually a 42 gallon tank! Since this is not my house, I called owner and informed her of situation.
Went out to garage yesterday afternoon upon returning from Hilo and noticed a new system. Not setup yet, but let's see what happens. It's a 42 gallon Flotec with a 1/2 hp pump from Flotec..
