[QUOTE="bear, post: 632374, member: 5779"] There are alot of factors involved. What is the elevation of your house in relation to the location of your water meter? What is the pressure on the main? How big is your house? How many fixtures in the house? Will there be any yard hydrants pulling off the house plumbing. You will probably need to go to a larger meter. Most water jurisdictions use 5/8 meters when tapping for 3/4" service. The line loss in 3,000 ft. (depending on terrain) may exceed or be very near the flow rate of a 5/8 meter. Meter size and line size is very important even when considering a booster pump as the pump could suck the supply line dry if your meter and or line size is wrong. It may be worth the money to consult a local engineer to size according to all of these factors. Bear [/QUOTE]
