pump & pressure tank setup
 

Hi. I'm looking for tips on setting up a 1/2 hp jet pump & 4 gallon
pressure tank at the cottage. It's about 50 feet from the lake to the
kitchen.

You will want to drive a point well for the pump and tank. typically you do
not want to tap directly into the lake. Groundwater is filtered by the
surrounding aquafer and higher quality water.

First, I assume you meant 40 gallon rather than 4 gal.

Can I also assume you are not going to drink the water ?

Next, what is the elevation difference between the lake and the cottage ?

It is actually a 4 gallon tank. Just enough to do a small sink full
of dishes, etc. This water is quite clean but not potable.

The elevation diff is quite small, about 6 feet.

thanks
