Glad it helped you! Much easier with videos

Well, it has been running great since 2016 or so, and that is another way of doing it. However, they do not have to be the same size tanks, which defeats the purpose of using an old tank; they just need to have the same pressure in each.

I turned this Crawl space into a basement by digging out. Basically, a large workspace that stays 69-72 years round is encapsulated and insulated.

well never went that far lol, but in theory if the tanks were the same PSI and the pressure switch farther down it would probably be fine.

you would need to pipe it in before it and make sure they are the same pressure, but technically you can add as many tanks as you can fit lol

@@dadsworld5084thank bud

It is a one way inline valve coming in, I do not however have a pressure relief valve just a 40/60 switch. Not a bad idea in case of a freak high pressure chance. Thanks for the advice

will do

That is because it would be too hard to put it in English! Better to give stick figures and make you guess!

He's a lover if I can just keep him from barking lol

They sure are, I installed the big blue because it only reduces PSI of pressure by 1 instead of 10 psi due to 20Inch size. Pretty cheap overall; it's 50 or 60 bucks; filters are 50-60 bucks for 2 last year. Take a lot of minerals and other things out of the well. It probably took me 15 minutes to install. It's pretty easy, and I can make a basic overview video if you like. You can even go with higher filtration than the 10 microns I use. But probably will need to change every 4 instead of 6 months due to the small tolerance on filters. It takes me about 60 secs to change a filter really easily.

@@dadsworld5084 Rich: Fantastic and thanks for the reply. Sounds like an easy enough job without a lot of post install work.

yes, it is very easy and cheap overall and rewarding with great results! @@jimrhee4327

appreciate it

Just put one on my F350 today, looks great. The bottom support bolts on to the main verticals I stead of coming off the bottom flat. They pass through the air dam “vertically “ if that makes sense. A better design I think.

the 40 -60 is a switch that goes on the system that relies to the pump when it must kick on and kick off and can be adjusted some in each direction if needed, the tanks have 46 pods in each and it important to have the same in each if running in parallel like I have done, however they also can be adjusted but most of the time it is not needed. I got the small 35 gal tank with the well install in 2016, and bought the other from Home Depot, at the time it cost around 4-5 hundred off the top of my head, took another 10 mins to install and gave me a very long pressure cycle. Hope this helps you. Basically gives a large volume of water per cycle! Helped a ton with my large irrigation system I put on my house and 4 showers that I can run at same time if needed!

I understand what you have stated to me Sir. What I am still fuzzy on is which pressure is best for a home system to operate on PSI wise ?? Thanks@@dadsworld5084

lol never said I was the smartest, thanks for noticing!

I am glad you like it; I already hit a deer with mine doing 55 thew the deer 15 feet in the air and off road; I was like, dam. Hope the truck isn't ruined. I drove to work, got out, and looked. I hit it dead in the middle of the grill; however, in the end, all I had was some blood and fur stuck on it, Not even a scratch or dent to the vehicle or Ranch Hand! It's a beast!

@@dadsworld5084 How wild the timing. My searching for one become increased in last 2 days as I just got a 2 for 1 - 2 doe for the price of 1 bumper cover just this past Sun. Once the repairs are made then the Ranch hand will get put on. Especially now that I know it is specifically battle tested for purpose :)

The Ranch hand has been around forever, not to expensive and thicker steel. Overall, I am pretty happy with it, and since it took a deer at 55mph already and did not even dent it, I would say it made pretty well overall.

Your pump is in your well pre-pressure tank

has worked well for 6 yrs running

You can have a sediment filter before it just make sure it’s changed periodically and it keeps the well junk out of the tank

no all the brackets needed come with the Ranch Hand

@@dadsworld5084 got cha, I found one but she doesn’t have the brackets. And I can’t find any brackets online for sale

Everything is on the truck and ranchhand already you should be good!

@@dadsworld5084 so there isn’t an additional bracket needed? It has the spot for the two nuts and the straight piece under neath. It looked like you had a bracket that connects the straight bottom piece to the area with tow hooks

@@AquaForcePW It hooks to spots that are already there; I took off to brackets that came with the truck, where the straight pieces attach. I will slip under the truck to double-check in the am and get back to you to make sure. I believe you will have to get some bolts since your one doesn't have them with it.

If you are referring to the bracket that attaches near the tow hooks, then yes. You have to trim the plastic near the hooks and it bolts to their and under the truck. Hope this helps

@@dadsworld5084 I'm referring to the bracket provided by Ranch Hand that goes up underneath the truck. It has a total of 4 holes. 2 of them are used for mounting to the truck frame (Pain in the butt part), 1 of them mounts to the grill bracket that comes through the cut out holes in the plastic valance. There is 1 more hole at the very top of that bracket. Does that just not get used or does it bolt somewhere?

@@brandonwilliams2839 let me go take a look; got to remember been a bit since I installed it.

took a look, and the only to mounts were under the truck and at the hooks, for the Ranch hand there is no other place to mount to.

Sure, when I go down stairs, I will measure it for ya!

@@dadsworld5084 thank you!

Well if your four year old and sleeping with you sister you have other things to thing about...

Many tanks have their own pressure. You set the pressure with and there’s a valve you add or take air pressure with

you will have to see on the tank recommendations, off the top of my head I think mine is 60psi, but just look on tank or tank specifics which you can google.

Anytime glad it helped you; it is some pretty poor directions LOL!

you hit that on the head, however I needed more than the 2 arms I have lol, glad it helps

She didn't love it, but she played nice for the minute, hoped yours was easier than mine, lol!

Adding another larger tank in tandem won't hurt for sure and can only help give a larger reserve. However, you shouldn't have that big of a drop from 1 facet to another when only running two teams in a house. In the short term, however, if you only have a small line coming off your 1-inch line feeding your facet and toilet in tandem, this might account for your lack of pressure since a tiny 1/2-inch line still only gives so much flow if that is what it is off the 1 inch which I am guessing.

The pump does the pressure, and the tank is a reservoir. It can be for home or irrigation; the more extensive the reservoir, the less the pump has to kick on. The longer you get steady pressure, the more consistent the flow!

You need to take a look at your pump gpm rating. If your drawing more volume than your pump can flow your pressure will drop. What you can do is get a bucket and time how long it takes to fill one gallon of water and compare that time to what your pump is rated for. After that combine usage like how much does a washing machine require and how much flow is needed when taking a shower or running 2 showers and a washing machine at the same time. Then you'll have a good idea what pump is required.

I think the tank cost me about 3-4 hundred at the time, and the pipe in a few dollars and about 10 mins of time, I have been using this successful for about 5 years now made a massive difference with 4 showers in the house and 17 one irrigation system.

Technically it does not matter how many items you have on the well; it would increase your overall ready supply to all of the above. This is how it gives the appearance of higher flow for longer times.

so yes it should help

Thanks for the advice, but hints at the video title are for beginners, this was never intended to be a pro video only for a novice homeowner like myself, I am sure you are correct on all parts thanks for the advice, I will remember this next time.

you would only have a pressure tank if you have a water pump in the well, if on city water this wont help

Typically you would want them to run right after each other; you could always put the tank in another place but pipe it back to the connection point if you are area limited.
