    Well pressure switch sizing

    i will replace gauge, not sure what it really does as the pressure switch seems to know when to turn on and off and the gauge is more for me to just watch it i guess. kinda trying to figure out if i need the new tank i bought or not. how long you think if my bladder is bad will it lose the air ...

    Well pressure switch sizing

    The pipe going down my well to the pump is black plastic, my house is only 21 years old. The first expansion tank was an amtrol and lasted make 15 years, then I replaced that tank with a pro source which only lasted 5, and now I decided to go back to an amtrol. So same pump in well from when...

    Well pressure switch sizing

    I looked at those and I would have to change out all my piping also to allow larger sizes ( i am 1 inch pvc now ). So with the additional cost if tank and piping I him I will stay with the 20 gallon one and maybe adjust my 20/40 to 30/50. My switch is a square d and I think I can just adjust it...

    All I have on well is that it is 51 feet deep and 10-15 gpm, no mention in any of my paperwork on size of pump. Should I get a bigger tank also?

    Well pressure switch sizing

    Reach I am not replacing pump only expansion tank. My well pump is 20 years old and don't plan on replacing, I assume my well driller originally decided on the 20 gallon tank and 20/40 switch and I have just kept that way. For 20 years I have Been 20/40, what am I gaining by switching to 30/50...

    Well pressure switch sizing

    I am about to replace my bladder tank again. I bought a 20 gallon well xtrol which i think comes pre-charged to 38 psi. My switch has always been a 20/40 so i would lower the air to 18 on this tank when i go to install it. My question is why am i a 20/40 and not maybe a 30/50 or 40/60 ? what...
