    Re: Changing pressure at tank

    I've re-thought the tank-pressure-over-50 question and I was wrong earlier because the pressure switch senses the pressure in the line OUTSIDE the tank. A bladder pressurized to 50 pounds will...

    Re: 3.5 acre landscape project

    Sounds like a plan. When you say three times do you mean spring, mid-summer and fall or three times during the spring/summer? (i.e. do you do a fall feeding?)
