Just thought this might be a good place to bring a little plumbing push for.
I'm hooking up a 2500 gallon potable water reservoir 6' lower than my house. Trenching and pump house pad are surrounded by and I'm ready to install the pump and pressure cistern.
My question is....Where to install my foot spout.
Does it go earlier the pump or after the pressure tank?
Answers: It should run between the pump and the source of water. Use a spring type check spout.
The foot valve is comprised of a bulk to help hold it straight and vertical surrounded by the chemical tank. It is also a check spout to keep a positive direction of flow. This stopcock also aids in repeatability and priming of the pump. It have a strainer to prevent particles from man drawn into the suction line. Small particle may cut or tear the diaphragm. The foot spout also has a connector set to revise it to the suction line. The foot tap should be kept off the bottom of the cistern and should be mounted in a vertical position. A foot spigot is required in most applications using suction heave
