How to increase pressure from a water well tank system?
I have a single jet well system for water at my house. I’m trying to increase the water pressure so my irrigation system will work. I was told I need a bigger tank and a stronger (2hp) motor to pump the water. Can I just upgrade the motor without changing the tank? I have a 42 gallon tank and the well is 17 feet deep.
there should be a pressure regulating switch somewhere on your system that activates the pump when pressure drops and cuts it off when operating pressure is attained. you should be able to change the settings on the regulator to raise the cutoff pressure in the system

Multifunction Digital Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge GM100 Frequency Tester $112.69 Are you looking for an ultrasonic thickness meter for yourself? Ultrasonic thickness gauges are the optimum tool for finding the remaining wall thickness of corroded or eroded metals such as found in steam and water piping, storage tanks, pressure vessels, etc. and where access is limited to only one side of the component. If you are looking for an ultrasonic thickness gauge, you have come to the right place. This one will meet all your needs.This ultrasonic thickness meter is made with latest technology, and you will amaze how great it is. This ultrasonic thickness gage can be used to measure most metals (forged, rolled, extruded, cast), many plastics, ceramics and glass, plus some rubber and fiberglass (depending upon composition). With automatic zero reset, you can use it conveniently and easily. This practical, well-designed ultrasonic thickness tester enables you to test the thickness of objects better. The measuring range is 1.2 to 220mm for steel material. What’s more, the sound velocity range is 1000 to 9999 meters per second.Great quality, reasonable price, is there any reasons that you will not buy this product? This is the thickness meter that you have been looking for. Don’t hesitate anymore. Come and take it. |

Saddle Tank (Submarine) $60 Used – High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Saddle tanks are a type of ballast tank configuration fitted to some earlier submarines. Saddle tanks are fitted in pairs external to the pressure hull, one on each side, in a similar manner to that of a horse’s saddle-bags, the positioning of which they resemble in appearance. The tanks themselves are usually streamlined to reduce water resistance and are prominent on many submarine designs produced prior to the end of World War II. |

Submarines Of Italy $14.14 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Trieste was a Swiss-designed deep-diving research bathyscaphe (“deep boat”) with a crew of two, which reached a record-breaking depth of about 10,911 metres (35,797 ft), in the deepest known part of any ocean on Earth, the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, on January 23, 1960. The Trieste was designed by the Swiss scientist Auguste Piccard and built in Italy. His pressure sphere, composed of two sections, was built by the company Acciaierie Terni, and the upper part was manufactured by the company Cantieri Riuniti dell’Adriatico, in the Free Territory of Trieste on the border between Italy and Slovenia; hence that name was chosen for the bathyscaphe. The installation of the pressure sphere was done in the Cantiere navale di Castellammare di Stabia, near Naples. The Trieste was launched on 26 August 1953 in the Mediterranean Sea near the Isle of Capri. The design was based on previous experience with the bathyscaphe FNRS-2, also designed by the Piccards. (It was built in Belgium and operated by the French Navy). After several years of operation in the Mediterranean Sea, the Trieste was purchased by the United States Navy in 1958 for $250,000. The Trieste consisted of a float chamber filled with gasoline for buoyancy, with a separate pressure sphere. This configuration (dubbed a bathyscaphe by the Piccards), allowed for a free dive, rather than the previous bathysphere designs in which a sphere was lowered to depth and raised from a ship by cable. At the time of Project Nekton, the Trieste was over 15 m (50 ft) long. The majority of this was a series of floats filled with 85,000 liters (22,500 gallons) of gasoline, and water ballast tanks were included at either end of the vessel, as well as releasable iron ballast in two conical hoppers… More: |

The Log of the ”Flying Fish” $0.99 This book has a firm place in British literature, for it was one of the very first in the genre of science-fiction. A German professor, living for some reason in London, takes on someadventurous and rich Englishmen, and sets off with them in an airship that is made of a material so light that it can rise vertically into the air if you pump out some of the air in its ballast tanks. It can also plunge into the depths of the ocean, because this special material, aetherium, is so strong that it can withstand water pressure to a great depth. In this vehicle they visit the North Pole, having several adventures on the way, including finding the remains of a Viking ship. They visit a region in Africa where they depose the existing King and install a King who is more to their taste. Then they head off for Mount Everest, where they become the first persons to sit on the summit. Here again they have more adventures of a perilous kind. (Nick Hodson) |
