Hi Tim,

As stated yes you can add as many pressure tanks as you want. I just intalled a new PT with a 34gal draw down, about $385 from Lowes. You need to order online then they deliver to the local store for your pick-up. They have other sizes available. They say 2wks but they lied, 4wks.

I have a new PT that I'd sell cheap, $100, with 34gal draw down. Never been used but I did bounce it off the free-way a couple times on the way home...LOL

From your picture, I'd also plan on replacing a few fittings when you open that one up. Might also be a good time to clean up some electrical wiring.

Your thinking is correct, buy the largest PT you can get into the system as the larger the PT the cheaper it is to run the pump and the longer the pump lasts. I too would look at adding on a larger PT outside or inside a dedicated closet vs using several small PT, not cost effective, $195 smallest vs $385 for the larger PT.

Allan's system appears like a good idea but I would want to see the 10yr or 20yr gross cost, both installation and utility cost, VS the good o'l standard setup that's pretty cheap for pumping water.
