Todd, I'm not aware of anything that would prevent piecing together the pump and tank for a 13D system. I believe this is part of trying to keep it as affordable as possible. I think most of the folks that use the package systems do so for ease of installation. Similar to flex drops, some folks use them while others prefer to hard pipe their drops. Both are acceptable.
Think about all of the homes in the country that have 13D systems that are fed from a well. If you can meet the flow, duration and pressure requirements for the system this is perfectly acceptable.

I know the pump does not need to meet NFPA 20 criteria, but are there any restrictions or requirements for these pumps beyond NEC standards? Todd G.
