The water line and the electrical are brought inside the Momplex underground. The electrical (the gray box on the upper right) ties in to a pressure switch mounted on the pressure tank. When the pressure in the pressure tank gets too low, it trips a switch, that in turn feeds power to the well pump, causing it to pump water into the pressure tank, until the switch trips back signaling the tank is full.
The water line is the white line on the lower right, rapped in the heat trace. It comes in from below ground, and fills the tank, and then on to where ever water is needed by Mom.
You need the pressure tank so your well isn't kicking on and off every time you turn the faucet on. Kinda like buying all your groceries for the week at once, instead of running to the store every time you need a snack.
From there, the water is distributed to manifolds that we DIYed:
That way we can turn water on and off at the main manifolds in case of a leak or burst pipe or we need to work on something.
And from there, the water is distributed through water lines to kitchens and baths throughout the Momplex.
Up until now, the plumbing lines were just stub outs in the wall.
