One well two pumps

I would like to know the best way to add a second pump to my existing sprinkler/pump system because I made a mistake burned up a Harbor Freight pump/pressure tank.

I installed a one inch pvc water line around the house and added 5 faucets and want a separate pump to send water to the faucets.
I thought I could splice into the supply line infront of the sprinkler pump and get water to the Harbor Freight pump.
I worked for a short while but I kept getting air in the line. Finally on my 5 day of trying the HF pump started to smoke from the electrical side. I do not know if it was my pulmbing or just a motor failure. How should I run the piping and what size pump should I use??
