billywray73 Member	# Posted: 23 Aug 2021 18:34 Reply My grandfather left me some land in upstate NY, and there are several 10-12 foot deep hand-dug wells on the property. They are filled year round, I'd like to setup a pressurized water system to use with my RV as I'm building. There is power on the property. What are some recommendations on a pump to use (Submersible or other), tanks for pressurizing the water, and filtration considerations ? Anyone have a sample design with product recommendations ? I've looked at Water works pressurized tanks - with Plumb eeze kits but have never worked with them. any suggestions / recommendations would be appreciated.

You could use a shallow well centrifugal pump or a submersible, both can be fitted with a pressure tank. In either case you would probably want some protection for a â€œrun dryâ€ situation with a dug well.
