blast from the past.
here's what i've got..
1. Pump:
Make: Duro Shallow Well
Series: B251
Serial Number: B-23013
2. Motor:
Leland 1/4 HP x 1725 R.P.M.
60 Cycle x 1 Phase
Type: KS21
Serial Number: FC-10980
3. Tank:
Galvanized Steel.
Working Pressure: 85 psi
Height: 21"
Diameter: 16"
Capacity: ~ 13 Imperial Gallons
Everything runs like a top, but the tank has sprung a pinhole leak. I was going to repair it, but figure it will probably spring some more leaks. It's time to replace it.
The pump is an older piston pump, not a jet pump. Works like a charm.
I've been advised to use a true HydroPneumatic tank, with no bladder, because a piston pump tends to push air into tank.
My question is ,
1. what is the impact/effect if I were to use a bladder type tank with a piston pump ?
