Counting Booster Pump Activations
- The well pump is ~470ft below ground, and pumps up to replenish the reservoirs.
- The booster pump is triggered on by pressure tank low pressure, and turned off by pressure tank high pressure settings.
- It takes a finite amount of water drawn from the reservoirs to bring the pressure tank back to max … ~72 gallons on our system
- Although it varies (it takes more gallons to replenish the pressure tank when water is being simultaneously drawn), none-the-less counting pressure tank booster pump activations provides a fairly accurate inferred flow rate meter without actually having a water flow rate meter.
