    It's fine until they all come back home for a visit and then the pump will be running all the time. Is the 80 gallon bad? $400 seems steep for 12 gallon differential. HD has a 42 vs 84 gallon equivalent tank and they are only $70 different

    Either a 40 gallon pressure tank or a bladder tank should do two persons just fine. Good luck, Tom
