Not familiar with this system

[cvap]

Hi everyone. Recently moved to a new home away from the coast in South Florida with well and septic, and the well has a RO system on it.
Is anyone familiar with these set ups? It has no pressure tank so the pump in the holding tank feeds the home and goes on, along with a booster pump every time you open a faucet.
Is this normal? On a normal day it must start at least 50 times with just two of us in the home. It's also a new home so must have just passed a plumbing inspection.
The well itself has the same pump and booster which only runs to fill the holding tank with RO filtered water, or to run the irrigation system with raw water.
Is there a way to put a pressure tank on the part of the system that feeds the house and possibly not need the second booster pump that is on top of the mineral tank?

Both your well pump and the booster pump have one of those flow switch, all in one, controllers. Yes, the pumps will come on for every spoonful of water used. But no, they will not work with a pressure tank. Every pump manufacturer has a version of those because they are so good for the replacement pump business. Neither one of your pumps will last very long with that type control. The same submersible pumps will probably last 30 years if they are not allowed to cycle themselves to death. That is why pump manufacturers sell those flow switch controllers and would never sell a Cycle Stop Valve. Replace those controllers with a PK1A kit. Even though it only uses a 4.5 gallon size pressure tank, the Cycle Stop Valve will eliminate the cycling and make the pumps last much longer than the manufacturers like.

Awesome thank you for the explanation. Though I don't really understand why you would need anything but a tank and mechanical pressure switch from the cistern's pump to the house set 40-60 or whatever the switches come set to. A union tank tee package with a 26 gal tank is under 400$
Then leave the well side set up as is with the float switch in the cistern to keep enough pressure to use the RO filter and irrigation. It doesn't cycle.
