Low-yield systems are recommended when  your well flow rate cannot meet your needs. A cistern tank can allow you to bufffer 100's of gallons of water to meet your peak demands even with low flow rates. Only ¼ gallon per minute from a well will provide 360 gallons per 24-hour day.  As the well recovers and can provide more water it will be pumped to the storage tank.

 

Our staff will determin the optimum storage tank that will meet your peak demand (capacity) needs and site specific limitations such as narrow doorways.


Typically cistern tanks will be 250 or 325 Gallon, 30”w x (48” or 60”h) x 61”l (can be stored in the basement)

 Smaller cylindrical tanks for narrow doorways are also available and can be placed in tandem and interconnected with 2 inch tubing at the bottom of the tanks. Size each 100 gallon tank is 28” diameter by 48” height.

 

We install a jet or submersible pump in the tank with float and load control-switches.

 

Large, in-ground, concrete or poly tanks are also available in 1000 and 2000 gallon sizes. These are typically used for those wells that stay dry for long periods of time, requiring hauled water.
