Hi Nick,

I've done pressure systems around the 9300 a few times either because of
limited water availability (the 9300 is real tolerant of running dry),
very limited water needs, or limited funds from the customer. This pump
will only recharge at 1.0 to 1.5 gpm, so the customer really needs a BIG
pressure tank. 100 gallon is good. And the pressure switch needs to kick
on while there's still a fair amount of water reserve in the tank. Set
your tank at 20 psi (empty), and your pressure switch at 23-25 psi for
instance. Make sure the customer understands what he's got, and what to
realistically expect. It's workable, but long teenage showers could be a
problem, and watering the garden certainly would be a problem.

Cheers,
Doug Pratt
