Ours has to do with fire suppression ; fire knocks out power so 2000gal gives the FD some on site help. There must be a connect accessible and usable for a tanker to hook up
Oh! Now that’s smart bro! Good chatter!

Not a forced thing here, you would think though!
I’m hooking up a Generac for back up power. My insurance gal said i’ll need a “hydrant” hook up. Plumbing one of those in for sure!

If you leave a stub, you can always add a tank later
Oh yeah for sure! Already did.

This property I bought had an existing well but zero infrastructure uptop.
I poured a slab for the pumphouse i’m building. Installed Pressure tank/ tank tee all that shit. Left around 3’ of straight pipe in between well head and pressure tank in case i’m gonna do the tank/booster pump thing.

Just some thoughts buzzing around in my noggin: Put in a smaller tank (~500 gal ,plastic or fiberglass+) solely for irrigation and you could pH your water in big batches. Output would be separated from potable water. I'm just thinking back to the absolute fun I had when I put in my whole irrigation/water system LOL

Yeah, that’s what i’m doing. So because i’d have to tank it just to correct the high ph watering the outdoor crop i’m gonna mix up nutes in that very same tank and feed, might as well the way i look at it.

Even though i haven’t been part of an outdoor crop for a few years now, we were usually all organic. Besides whipping up and feeding them a weekly tea, it was straight water(well)pushing water over organic top fed ingredients. The 8.0 well water i got screws that plan all up :-(


Tank will be up near the crop;-)

Our city water is 7.6 at least from local wells and I use phosphoric acid 1/4 tsp per gallon to get it down to low 6's. I'm sure there is somewhere to get a quantity for a reasonable price. You can do the math to figure out the quantities to use in a large tank, just a thought.
