Why not put it in the kitchen right next to the refrigerator? If you use a 30-gal vertical tank with the 1/2-hp electric pump mounted on top, this setup needs about 18" x 18" of floor space, and is very easy to access if you want to pull the electric plug out of the 110-v outlet. A 1/2-hp pump should be able to draw about 32' vertical in raising up water, and different pumps vary quite a bit as to how much noise they create. The pumps made by
www.simerpumps.com seem to be pretty quiet.....and are sold at Heath's Hardware in Centre Harbor.
To make it look like it belongs in the kitchen, just paint everything all one color; tank, pump, and tubing all one neutral color like semi-gloss beige or grey or light green or something, and you will be a happy camper! It's a good idea to have the 50-lb pressure guage up on top of the pump so it is easy to see, and you can watch it migrate down to 30-lbs and then crank it back up to 50-lbs.....something to do when home alone ..... after a couple of beers.....u-know.....stay home alone and have a beer along-side your trusty water system........cheers!
