I am planning on adding a second line to my private submersible well, This line will be about 6 feet from the well head. My thinking is I will put a tee on the current well line to home and then off the tee and run 300' of 1" PVC line to a waterier for the equine. Right after the tee I will be adding a shut off valve to the new line.
My question i---s when I tie into the existing well line to house do I just power off the pump...cut the water line...insert tee fittings..connect new line and valve...power up and all is good or will I have a prime issue when I cut the main line? Also this is prior to pressure tanks so can I even do it the way I want?

No problem teeing into the line at the well head as long as you don't have a check valve between that tee and the pressure tank.
