Pump house design3/28/2024 ![]() I’d like to put the chest freezer in there as well. The new pump house needs to have room for a pH conditioner, two 36 inch diameter storage tanks (165 gal ea), a carbon filter, a uv filter and shelves for canned goods. If I don’t have an impact drill by then, I’ll need to rent/purchase one. I’ll need smaller holes between the posts for fastening the reinforcing wire. I can drill the posts and set them over the rebar pins. To mount the posts to the curb I will need to drill holes in the curb and mortar in rebar at the post locations. I can put posts in the ground set in concrete for the three outside corners, but the posts for the three inside corners must be mounted to the well curb. There are two walls of the new pump house which will sit on the well curb. I did the research this morning for a building permit and the building I’ve planned comes in at 196sf, under the 200sf threshold for requiring one. So, a new pump house is the plan and it’s my task for the summer while Wadly’s working. If we needed to service the pump, we’d have to lift the roof off the pump house to pull the pump out of the well. Anything done in the pump house is performed squatting, sitting or kneeling. The interior height of the pump house is between 3 and 4 feet. ![]() ![]() The outside dimension of the pump house is 6’6″ square. Right now we have the pump house sitting on top the well which makes servicing anything about our water supply situation problematic. It’s got to be multipurpose or there’s no point in changing what I’ve got. I need the pump house for a variety of uses water storage, canned food storage, root cellar, wintering over plants, water treatment. I’ve been thinking about the pump house, how I’m going to construct it, building the walls, how the cover for the well is going to work. ![]()
