Hi All,

I have a 30 ft well that is 24 inches wide. I am using a submersible pump and 20 gallon pressurized tank. The tank, pressure switch, relief valve, pressure gauge, and hose bib will all be inside of the well about 48 inches from the top of the well. This well is just for irrigation here in Illinois.

Question: Can I plumb the tank below the switch, relieve valve, pressure gauge, hose bib? Or will this cause a problem at all..?

The reason: it will be too hard to access the gauges etc if the tank is on top of them. (again the well is only 24 inches wide.

Thanks for the input. Attached is a diagram.

It should work just fine.
