Check with tech support at HydraTec I believe you can have as many as 5 sources if you input them right. Richard L.

We have an existing fire service (from city water main) feeding hydrants and sprinkler systems. The hydrant at the end of this fire service (hydrant #1) has a static of 50psi, residual of 40psi, and a flow of 750gpm. Our client wants to add an additional water source, via a 200,000 gallon water storage tank at 610 feet about the POC, hoping that the pressure will increase. This storage tank also feeds existing hydrants. The closest hydrant from this water source (hydrant #2) is 50 feet higher in elevation than hydrant #1. Hydrant #2 has a static of 128psi, residual of 8psi, and a flow of 265gpm. To connect the two water sources we are going to run a new fire line 380 lineal feet from hydrant #1 to hydrant #2. We use HydraCalc and it does not allow two separate water sources. Any suggestions on how to determine how much the pressure will be increased, if any? Thanks, Paul B.
