What size/brand pressure tank should be used with this pump that would be adequate for rain harvest irrigation/house system?

The beauty of this pressure booster is you don't need an extra pressure holding tank with it. It has one built inside of it. What else are you trying to accomplish?

A pressure tank is not required but it will help the pump not kick on and off as often. I used a red lion 33.

About 8 foot or soI have a very tall tank and used 5and gallon buckets..had room to move to several buckets.I now use a different method. A 1200good gph pump with U shaped pvc, hang over the edge of tank with hose fitting on pvc. Pump continually for a few min. BTW i have a 220list gal.tank

I bought a 110 psi compressor with a 2 liter tank. Works like a dream. Make sure to have tight hose connections because they can and will seperate due to the high pressure.

My Best answer - the high flow gun should work (provided you have enough pressure) unless I am not understanding the question - using typical 1/2" flow hose, these are the standard fit for that.

I used a 4 gallons air compressor that I rented at home depot last year to blow out the 9 zones sprinkle system. The sprinkle has 1 inch diameter(instead of 3/4 '') and are quite long in a yard more than 11,000 sqf. So I guess this 3.5 gallon tank will work too. You have to stop more often and wait for the pressure raising up.

Any normal garden hose, 1/2" or greater. This unit uses very few gallons per minute.

Any tank will work because they are connected by a pipe fitting, but the larger the capacity tanks will save on electricity and your pump will last longer because the pump runs less. Replacing my small tank with this larger one dropped my electric bill more than $12 a month.

System needs between 20-30 psi to be effective. Most "normal" houses have a water pressure of 40psi or better, which is why this system comes with a regulator. A low pressure well should operate at or slightly above 30 psi, so it should work perfectly fine.

It depends on the flow rate you need. If you have a 750 GPH overflow (or 900 in my case) this pump will work fine. If you require more, you'll want to go larger. Typically, a general rule of thumb is 10 GPM/gallon (i.e. 1000 GPM for a 100 gal tank) but its up to you and depends on how much overall flow you want/need in the tank.

Sorry also by the way for your 120 gallon tank depends what your keeping. How much flow you want??? 2 jebao 40s or 60s if you want a tsunami. ..these pumps are strong man...

get any pump that does between 4-8 psi (mr gasket is autozone brand inexpensive)

i threw mine out and bought a wayne electric pump for less then $50 . i use it in my rain barrels the cord on the motor reaches well out side of the barrels for disconnecting, however i picked up a remote controlwhich makes it very safe handling. i had up to a 100 foot hose connected to this pump for watering.

Has a C.I. housing. You may want brass. Don't think it is designed for pressures of domestic H.W. system. You would have to check the specs. I used it to replace a Taco pump on a forced H.W. heating system running at only around five lbs. pressure.

- No check valve included (cannot recommend one as I just installed the pump into the existing circuit)- I don't think this is the correct pump for an irrigation system- We use if for our house water and it definitely needs to be used with a pressure tank

There are charts to look at. My read says a size 2 at 1.3 gal per min will give 1500 psi. Look for yourself. The 3 will work but give a lower pressure.

Should be fine, we run it for half hour straight without any issue. Pressure just like home. Works great!

1/2 inch barbed couplers similar to the Rain Bird BC50 worked very well for me. Depending on working water pressure you may also need to use 3/4 inch gear type hose clamps to maintain the connections. Hope this helps
