    Pump question about filling pressure tank

    thanks for your replies valveman, could i get around that by having an external pressure switch that cuts power to the pump at 50psi and then lets it back on at 30psi?

    Pump question about filling pressure tank

    thanks, this might be a dumb question but I can submerge the pump in the tank right? The wire is waterproof? I plan on hanging it through a 5" pvc pipe to keep it vertical and off the bottom of the tank but it will be underwater, that is the purpose of a submersible pump right?
