Hi guys. Thanks a million. Ok, going to install the tank today. Good weather and higher temps. Will do the compressor thing to force water out of the old tank. The thing I don't understand is... once I have everything hooked up again, and once I prime the system, will the pump then pressurize water into the new tank?
Oh, one other question. Yesterday when we tried to drain the tank, water was only trickling out, as air was intermittently going up the pipe to replace the water draining. Thing is, at that rate it would probably take 2 days for it all to drain. If I hook up my compressor to forcc the water out, seems like it would still do the same thing (air bleeding back up the pipe into the tank) Wouldn't it help to drill a hole at the top of the lower chamber? Seems like this would let air in so it wouldn't have to force it's way up the pipe.
