They are merely storage units so you can have as many as you want. The initial pressure charge should be the same in all of them to allow the maximum stored volume. The pressure switch stays where it was in a single tank installation. : Every illustration I'm able to find on installing bladder tanks shows a single tank installation : If you wanted to increase the stored water capacity in your home waterline from your well, wouldn't having three bladder tanks allow your pump to cycle on 1/3 less often? Is it as simple as installing as many bladder tanks onto the line as you want? If so, where would you place the pressure switch? : Thanks.
