Posted here about a month ago (we finally moved into our new home!!) inquiring what the equipment is in the attached picture. You guys were great with helping me realize what I had!
Had a well company come out. They will replace the tank with a "120 model" pressure tank for $850. They said the tank is leaking and needs to be replaced. It was installed in 1984, FYI. We turned off the power, ran a faucet until it was empty and it still tested 34psi in the tank. He seemed shocked. Do I roll the dice and keep this tank? Or bite the bullet and get a new one installed?
Well pump is 275' down, and 5 years old as a side note.

QUESTIONS
- I need more water pressure in my house!! How can I get more? Showers dribble out, and if someone cracks a faucet while we are showering, the water pressure basically stops.
- In terms of the RO system (you cant see in this picture), he said usually they have 3 tanks? Mine only has one.....
- It has 2 legs coming off of it, one to the kitchen sink where the drinking water only faucet is, and one to the half bath on 1st floor.
- Am I missing a tank or 2?
- Where do I get a new cartridge? Home Depot?
- On the right hand side of the above picture, next to the 2 salt slurry tanks, is a small tank. It has a skull and cross bones sticker on it.
- What do I add to this tank?
