Inverter/Battery Question (Round 2 well pumping) [RE-wrenches]

[Darryl Thayer]

HI windy and others
In Minnesota I was not allowed to use a cistern "tank"
in excess of the pressure tank.  The inspector argued
the well water has "bacteria" which can grow as the
water warms, and long storage tank time constant
allows them to become a concern.  Any comment?
