priming tank design
priming tank design
(OP)
I want to attach a priming tank to an existing set of pumps. the pumps take suction from an underground tank with suction lines having foot valve, thus normally pumps remain primed. I understand that generally a tank having 3 times the volume of suction line is used. But once I start the pump it will suck all the water from the P tank, IS THERE SOME WAY TO ENSURE THAT PUMP TAKS WATER FROM PRIMING TANK ONLY IF THE SUCTION LINE NEEDS TO BE PRIMED??

Do you want /need an auto system of can it be done manually?
For interest, what size pump units are you talking about?
