pressure tank

Hello everyone, Today I forgot to switch off power to the well pump while draining the pressure tank for plumbing work. I did turn off the water supply to the house, but I think the pump was constantly running for a couple hours. Will this cause any damage to the pump or anywhere else? Thanks!

I am a first timer replacing my pressure tank. We have a private well. I hope I will get some advice here since I've very little knowledge on the subject. I just installed a new tank (32 gallons) with new tank tee, pressure switch, check valve, gauge, etc. The pressure switch is Plumb Eeze...

I'm considering a replacement/upgrade of my well tank (currently 30 gallon with a 30/50 switch). I'm on a shared well (I own it). Without getting into an internet lawyer thread, the "other" house thinks the fact that water come out of their faucet is magic and see no need for their own pressure...

Hiya, I have an unvented cyclinder (tribune) Yesterday I had a pressure valve replace and the vertical pressure tank pumped back up. All was fine. This morning I used the sink and a weird groaning noise occurred, gone in a couple of seconds and when I put the tap back on, there was no noise...

I've recently purchased a 20-year old home on a well in the mountains. I've never had a well before and am learning on the fly. I replaced the well pump about 6 months ago. At that time I also learned a little about these pressure tanks, and saw some discoloured water from the first tank which...

Hello, I have an HP-9 pressure tank that has been dripping, streaming water from the plastic valve at the top. . We had lost power for 5 days, and it started dripping right after the power was turned back on. I called the company that installed it years ago( they had removed this tank a few...

Yesterday our pressure tank lost all water pressure. I got under the house to find the psi on the tank was next to zero. The bladder seems to be fine, as I checked the air pressure and it is at 28psi (I have a 30/50 tank). If I turn off the power, close the main water valve, drain the tank, then...

Hey Guys, Gals- The last month or so I have noticed my water pressure tank is taking 15-20 minutes to fill. I have a Mclean Iron filtration system and 20 year old pump 300 feet down in a drilled well. The business that installed the whole system and well believe that I need a new pump and to...

My well pump keeps quitting overnight. Each morning I have to play with the switches and electricity to get it going again. I cleaned off the contacts on the pressure switch and checked all the wires on it and the control box (submersible pump). When it cuts back on the psi is perfect at 40...

I've recently install a new pump and 2 pressure tanks. The installation is shown in the image. The pump is a Gould's J5S and the tanks are A.O. Smith's PM26 diaphragm tanks. At first, I installed only one tank. The pump came adjusted 30/50. I adjusted the pressure in the tank to 28psi. I...

We have a submersible well pump with a bladder pressure tank. A couple weeks ago the water pressure was pulsating. My brother added some air into the tank and the pulsating stopped. Saturday I turned on the water and the pressure was very low. It continued to decrease each time the water was...

Hello folks. I'm hoping to get some advice here as the plumbers in my area that I've had out seem to not understand my rural water system. To start with, the actual problem I'm having is my pressure tank/well pump is short cycling. The stable (no draw) pressure is about 50 psi, but when there...

My well head is 150-200 feet downslope from my house and set in a concrete slab. I'm remodeling the property at this point and the previous owner had the pressure tank right up by the house. I would prefer to have it down at the well head as then I can build a well house that will house both...

Hi there. We have a 75lb pressure tank. A couple weeks ago my step dad changed the pressure gauge but also the entire valve on the side of the tank (not sure what its called, it has a float attached to it)..Well every sense then our water has been terrible, constantly spitting and sputtering...

Hello: Just bought a house in the country with a well system. I currently have a 1/3HP Shallow Well jet Pump with a Amtrol WX-203 - 32 Gallon Pressure Tank. When I'm water the yard the pump seems to kick on right away and will not shut off the whole entire time I'm watering the lawn. When...

I am planning to replace a 12-year old 1.5 HP, 5 GPM submersible pump in my 680 ft. well. I have a 50-gallon pressure tank. Water pressure has always been terrible. Not enough water pressure to run a single lawn sprinkler. Cannot take a shower and run the dish washer at the same time. I'm...

Hi all, I need ur advices. I currently have a well and pressure tank located right at well head. Its about 15-20ft to house. I now want to get a whole house filter, extra tank, and softener inside the house. Will this over kill? How much pressure will be lost? Need your advices. Thank you. Plan...

I would be most grateful if you would give me a hand at figuring out the well/pump problem I’ve been experiencing the last 2 weeks. The pump circuit breaker trips under normal water demands for 2 people. Example: The circuit breaker trips and, consequently, cuts off the water after running the...

This may seem like a stupid question, but we have had some issues with our soda ash feed and I think this would solve it but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Our well has a lot of iron in it. When we have had work done to the submersible pump it's caked onto the tubing. We have had to...
