New On Demand Water Heater For Infloor Heat In Barn Water Line Connection

Author: Brad Cockerill (MI)

Hello All,

I am needing to tie into my existing well to get water to my shed.

First off I am assuming that it is a submerged well pump, no pump in my crawl

Second I am again assuming that the backflow preventor would be located within the well

That being said I am wanting to T into my supply line between my well and house. Can I just T in to my supply line to my house and run a new line to my shed and tie it into my water heater? My water heater recommends 40 PSI or above to allow for maximum flow.

Would I need to install a little bladder tank in my shed prior to my water heater or no?

I'm not a plumber. You may need a licensed plumber to keep this all safe for your family.

Does your system now include a well pressure tank? If so, that should maintain the 40psi you need. Be sure to install a cutoff valve so you can isolate the new barn plumbing for pressure testing and repairs. You probably need to include a drinking water safe backflow prevention system, so that floor heating water can't flow back out your kitchen faucet. This is more than just an inline flapper valve. See here:<url>[www.plumbingsupply.com]; . Are you also planning to install a sink/kitchen/bath in the barn? This will require DWV plumbing. Finally, how do you plan to prevent winter freezes?
