Why does overhead tank capacity matter for pump selection and pressure?

Overhead tank capacity and height above the highest fixture affect the water pressure delivered through gravity, and pump sizing needs to match how quickly the overhead tank needs to be refilled from the sump to maintain adequate supply during peak usage times. Undersizing the overhead tank relative to household demand can lead to frequent pump […]

Overhead tank capacity and height above the highest fixture affect the water pressure delivered through gravity, and pump sizing needs to match how quickly the overhead tank needs to be refilled from the sump to maintain adequate supply during peak usage times. Undersizing the overhead tank relative to household demand can lead to frequent pump cycling and reduced pump lifespan over time.
