Hey All -
Stumped if what I am about to do is a good idea. I was going to connect a frost free yard hydrant to my water line at the well (300' well with submersible pump). This connection would be for washing the tractor and filling animal water. Since this would be before the pressure tank, would the pump know to turn on? Schematic of what I am trying to do:

Is this doable and a good idea?
