RE: You Want To Homestead? Part Four!

Damn dude I can't even imagine having to haul all our water that would be a pain in the ass. From having had two different homes with wells I can say that I'd recommend having the biggest pressure tank that you can afford and to get an in-line sediment filter. They are really cheap and easy to install and will prevent sediment from accumulating in appliances that can plug them or burn them out.

Yeah, Hauling water was a drag but it was we had to do for a while. Pressure thanks have come along way in the last couple of years. The tank we have is small but it acts like a 45-gallon tank. The in-line filter is a good thing for any well no matter what you drilled through, really important if you are using instant recovery water heaters as the sediment will burn out the elements in them easily. It is not just the tank and the filter but it is also about the type of pump motor you use and also the size you use. We are using a Gould 1/2 H.P motor and it is a great pump motor. I did a lot of research on everything and found it to be the best in the industry. Just remember it is not about one piece of something it is about every piece of the puzzle. Thanks!
