You'll Get High-Quality, Reliable Water Tanks

Well pumps are often capable of delivering more gallons of water per minute than any single faucet could draw. If a hydro-pneumatic tank was not used on the system, the pump would turn on and off every time water usage occurred in the house. For this reason a holding tank is used on all residential systems. The water can be used in a leisurely manner over a long time, and the pump will run briefly to refill the tank.

As the pump pushes water into the tank, the air in the tank is compressed causing water pressure. Once the pressure in the tank reaches a predetermined level the pressure switch interrupts the power to the pump and no more water enters the tank. When you utilize any water in your house the pressure slowly deceases until a second predetermined low pressure level is reached. The pressure switch creates an electrical closure and the well pump turns on to supply water to the tank again.

There are two basic types of pressure tanks, galvanized tanks and bladder tanks. Both utilize compressed air above the water to maintain the water pressure in your home. The main difference is the air in the galvanized tank is in direct contact with your water, where in the bladder style tank the air and water is separated by a rubber membrane.

A properly charged tank is essential to the proper operation of your well system. If either of these types of tank does not carry the proper air charge a variety of issues can occur including: short cycling of the pump (pump will turn on and off rapidly), interruptions in water pressure or ultimately the burning out of your well pump.
