*This is a water pressure tank, not an expansion tank. I wasn't able to modify the caption so am doing it here. I had been given wrong information earlier on in the day.
Hey Guys
Am just looking for some advice from those that know more about these things..
Over the weekend all water stopped coming out of my taps. I panicked and called the first person I found on google. They came out yesterday and replaced the pressure switch and all seemed to be back to normal. The thing that concerns me is that without telling me why they said I needed a new expansion tank ASAP.. I asked what was wrong with it, as it's only a 4 year old house, but he didn't seem to have much of an answer. He just said the tank made the switch go bad but there weren't any leaks. He also said he didn't put any air in even though it needed it because 'it wouldn't matter'...
Today I contacted an expert on justanswer, sent them lots of pictures, told him the story and he believes they may be trying to get me to buy a new tank although I don't need one. I'm a young single mom and don't know much these things and have sadly been taken advantage of before.
The one thing the guy on justanswer advised was that I needed to make sure there is enough air in the tank as when I sent him the pictures he saw the cap was missing from the little valve on top of the tank.
The Tank is called Pro-Source.
Any input would be greatly appreciated as I don't want to buy a new tank if I don't think it's imperative at this time.
