Well Storage Tank Pressure

A well pressure tank uses compressed air to push pressurized water out of the tank and into your home.

Well storage tank pressure.

If your well tank is on a 40 60 pressure switch your pressure setting should be 38 psi. Note the pressure prior to installation. Pressure tanks have a diaphragm also called a bladder that separates a chamber of air from the water. As the tank fills with water it compresses the air chamber.

The tank s steel shell supports the water weight to ensure water never sits in loose fitting vinyl or rubber bags that can fold crease and wear. The tank is pre pressurized 38 psi. Selecting a poorly made pressure tank may result in more troubleshooting scenarios than necessary. Pressurized well tank the water worker 32 gal.

Most well tanks come set at 30 50. When setting it always go below 2 psi of the cut in pressure. The cut on pressure for the well pump is 30 psi so the pressure of the tank should have a pressure of 28 psi. Water worker 119 gallon vertical pressure tank.

The difference between cut in and cut out values should not be more than 20 psi. Item 424503 model ht119b.
