I am getting ready to start a new addition on our house and am contemplating using more than 1 pressure tank to help with pressure in the house. Currently we have 2 baths and a kitchen on our well with a pressure tank, water softener, and water heater all in line.
We the new addition, we will be adding 1 and 1/2 baths, a new utilty room with a sink and washer. We would be interested in basically setting up 2 distinct water systems (old and new) so that hot water and water pressure is independent.
I would be interested in adding 2 water pressure tanks, resulting in 1 at the well head feeding each section of the house with its own pressure tank.
Is this feasible? Recommended? Or just a bad idea.
I think in the long run, the extra cost for a water heater and softener is probably worth it for the added pressure and not running out of hot water.
