WELL TANKS
Healthy Well Tanks Maintain A
Strong Water Flow
A well tank – sometimes referred to as a pressure tank or storage tank – is something every private well customer has that helps regulate water pressure and the water supply so the pump does not constantly run. A well tank is designed to provide consistent water pressure while reducing well pump cycling and can also provide your home with reserve water during power outages.
Regular maintenance is recommended for every well tank to maintain a healthy, consistent water supply. A well-maintained well tank can extend the life of your well pump by preventing overpumping. It can also improve water quality thanks to sediment setting. But when the well tank is stressed, it can result in waterlogging, pressure fluctuations and can reduce the life of the tank.
If you have an older water tank or have not had it maintained properly, it’s time to get it inspected. Well tanks typically last 10 to 15 years, depending on a variety of factors. Over time, well tanks (especially those with an interior bladder), can develop leaks, leading to loss of pressure and poor water delivery.
