Hello, I'm hoping to get some guidance.
I have a well equipped with a 30/50 pressure switch and an Amtrol WX-203 pressure tank. Over the last month or so I noticed that the water pressure throughout the house pulsates when taking a shower or flushing a toilet.
I recently had a water company come in as I was seeing a lot of sediment left in the shower and toilets and thought my whole house carbon filter needed to have its carbon changed. They changed the carbon and said it was long over due, but also mentioned that my water pressure tank was water logged and would need to be replaced.
I purchased parts, like for like(i.e. pressure switch, tank, check valve, etc.) and plan on replacing the tank and switch this weekend.
My question is related to the sediment. The sediment is like a grey/black color and makes the water look a cloudy white when filling a glass. Is this a direct result of my tank/pressure switch failing? Once I replace tank/pressure switch should this go away or do I have a different problem in addition to the tank on my hands?
My wife is beside herself so I'm praying this fixes it or she is going to fix me. Any advice or help would be appreciated.
