In response to Re: recharge pressure tank
: My shallow well water pump turns on almost immediately after we turn on any facet in the house. I would guess that the 15 gallon vertical pressure tank does not have enough initial air pressure. The pressure gauge shows only 50 pounds--which is the rating of the pump and there is no obvious signs of a leak down. What is the procedure to recharge this 150 psi tank to improve this situation? : Thanks i would get a 42 gallon tank,it saves your pump a lot of on off 15 is way to small for a home.
