    Plumbing dual pressure tanks
    I have a well pump system with 2 diaphram pressure tanks in series. They are working good and have good pressure. My question is can I tie in my cold water line going to the shower and sink and stuff in between the pressure tanks. I had it tied in right before the water heater and I think that was causing my problems with pressure.

    Please explain. Are the tanks hooked one after the other on the same line? What's the advantage in having two tanks?

    Sure can but until you tell me what your pressure problem is and how you think this would help I can't be of much help. Back to you, Tom

    Good question. Can't imagine why tieing in before the WH would cause pressure problems.
