Water filtering/pump setup

I finally got everything setup just the way I like it. I purchased the filters a few weeks ago and of course they cut down on pressure. I was using them for the 'flooding' stage at first but my brother came home and he likes to wash every vehicle we own. We ended up washing 4 vehicles+his twice which=5. I purchased the shallow well pump around 4-5years ago to hook up in the house but we never did it so I rigged it up for use with a water hose. It can get tricky adjusting the switch that turn the pump on and off. The water hose will bulge causing the pump to kick on and off if its not adjusted correctly. Our water pressure also varies by day so I must adjust it depending on how good the water pressure is coming into the pump on that day. Either way, on to the pics.. I think Im going alittle over board with this stuff but I enjoy it. :D

It runs around 50psi before the filters but they cut down on the pressure some. I figured around 5-10psi. If I unplug the pump the gauge reads 20-25psi coming out of the house and thats on a good day. Bad day it will only be around 15psi which makes it hard to get wet in the shower. haha, if I turn the pump on then turn on a sink inside the house, the water barely trickles out. :chuckle:
