We have a family home in rural Vermont, sits on 300' lakefront. Our well is 200 from the waters edge...
If you look on old Topo maps of where our house is (was built in the 30's) they show seasonal streams running right past our place....
We have to watch water use if we have a crowd at the place... flushing the toilet every other time.... short showers... etc...
Which is weird since the house is on a lake (pond).
Read this thread started by my brother regarding wells, water use and storage...
Well running dry even after 2 holding tanks installed????
We are going to install a system as in post 15 to start... if that fails to remedy the problem, we will go with a storage tank as in post 5
Note that the R2D2 pressure tanks do not hold a great reserve of water...
You need to make the system such that it is recovering capacity during times when there is no demand...The way the systems work now is simultaneous.... turn on the faucet, and the system tries to meet or keep up with demand....
Be able to store a surplus of water, and slowly replenish that when there is little demand...
