Thanks guys, I have replaced the tank. I put in a State tank. Maybe just as bad, but I didn't have much choice at the time. The water that came out of the old tank was pretty nasty. Rusty and / or dirty. I had discolored water before, but it's clear now. I have a question, tho , When I replaced the tank and let all that air into the system, is it possible to have an airlock somewhere? The kitchen sink ( furthest from the well), has very little pressure, while the bathroom fixtures and laundry work well. The washer stopped pumping water for about 5 sec. , tho. very abrupt stop and strart. What have I done wrong? Or not done right?. The tank was precharged to 38 lbs, and shows approx. 65 lbs when full. it's a 30/50 switch which I turned up due to lack of pressure with the old tank. It now kicks off at 70 ish lbs, which I plan on turning down, tho. any help??
