[QUOTE="jal, post: 579847, member: 3477"] DDD, We have a well. I have only grown up on well water. Where husband and I live the previous owner put in a water conditioning system, because of high iron in the water table. The water is drawn up from the well (about 250 ft. deep) by a pump (which we just replaced after 42 yrs) and enters into the house to a holding tank. From there the water is then conditioned and flows throught the house. Kitchen, bath and to our boiler system as our upstairs heat is a forced hot hydrated air system and our downstairs is hot water base board. We have always had some issue with pressure. It's been OK, but always felt it could be better. In our case our pump finally died in January and we replaced it which led us to discover (by digging) that we had a leak at the well and a blockage in the line. Now that those have been repaired the pressure is fantastic. We don't water our lawn, but we do water our vegetable and flower beds in the late spring and summer by using garden hoses. We have spickets in the front and the back of the house for this. I would definately have the water tested for high minerals etc. This is typically done along side with having a house inspection. The outside tanks might be for the water since you are in FL. Ours up here in CT are placed in the basement or garage. [/QUOTE]
