Keeping constant water pressure available for use
OK, I chickened out of the booster pump idea. I invested in a tubine pump and a tank and installed a self-contained float valve. The turbine pump seemed ideal for low volume, high pressure. The tank refills as needed from the facility's well. The turbine pump draws from the tank and through a...- SamRay73

Keeping constant water pressure available for use
Thanks for the inputs! My flowrates will be very small since we're only talking about up to 16 misters. I just need the higher pressure. So, I'm not too worried about starving the other facilities. I've got a 1/2 hp booster available, so I'll try to employ that, and circulate the excess back to...- SamRay73

Hi, I have some mini-greenhouse structures in which the humidity is controlled by atomizing misters. The misters operate by positive air and positive water pressure. Air and water solenoids open and close as needed to maintain a set point. Our air is supplied by an air compressor, which works...- SamRay73
