Two storage tanks are added to store
700 gallons of drinking water.
A 3 Hp variable speed booster is
mounted to the right of the new tanks.

Licensed plumber/installer listens to
Rich and takes final instruction. Great
opportunity to pick up fine points from
the VETERAN Mr. Pepin.
Installer agrees to paint the base of
the pump support- not part of the job
description, but “Very Professional.”
The system should look as good as it
works.

Rich says “Clean sweep””
Shower works wonderfully, and so
does the entire plumbing system.
It is rare when the storage is required,
but no reason to live with low water
pressure!
