[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 114443, member: 9"] Replies to Several Posts Here: 1. Cost? The filter units I referred to are considered high quality "professional grade" filters with long life. Not the "consumer handyman" type. You get what you pay for. 2. Water Pressure: There are two types of pressure: "Dynamic"--pressure that is maintained in the mainline when faucets, etc., are open and pump is pumping water through everything (shown on guage at your pressure tank site). "Static"--this pressure is the measured pressure at a faucet when nothing is outflowing. This pressure is only relevant with "city" water sources. The static pressure at one's pressure tank is only relevant as long as no water is flowing out and pump is not operating.

For pressure measurement created by the pump only, the outflow in mainline must be great enough so tank doesn't refill and cut off the pump...this is the pressure your pump can generate at full flow. 3. Friction Loss: That PSI loss in a water line that results from water flowing through a pipe. Basis of PSI loss per 100' of pipe. The larger the pipe size, the less the friction loss. 4.
