I just stumbled onto this site and was reading a thread from 2010 about a system similar to mine. My system in NC is a bladder tank system, supports a 6000 Sq. ft. structure with 7 baths. a commercial kitchen and three independent structures each with large jacuzzi baths.
The system I am trying to diagnose is apparently a non bladder tank system supporting a a small home with one bath and kitchen. the system was installed around 2006. this system has a Galvanized tank, and an inline check valve with a small brass stand pipe fitted with a schrader valve. The pump tank is losing pressure slowly after it fills to 60lb. PSI. There is no cap on the valve and a small continuous leak. I'm uncertain as to how this system pressurizes and what this valve is for in this location.
Questions.
Is this a simple fix and good system? It has worked well for years.
Should I change over to a bladder system tank?
Many thanks for your input?
