Amtrol.com is the company that I used- through culligan. Hate to invest money unless you absolutely need the boost though. My guess is that your spigot will provide enough pressure for your soak hoses. If not, look at the bright side in carrying water: you can direct where the water goes, so the weeds wont grow as much. I wanted to do a rain barrel setup for a garden in Colorado, then found out there were laws against it. Guess it depends on where you live. Great idea on the chicken moat- you got my wheels spinning now.... We had to invest in a pressure booster to get decent water pressure, but I needed high pressure about 60 yards from the well.
