Hi,
I currently have an old pressure tank that seems to be bad (pressure is intermittent and the tank is causing the well pump to continually be on while water is running). The model is a Sta-Rite Con-Aire CA120, roughly 2' tall by 2' diameter. After talking with a few people, the size that i would need varies drastically from person to person, anywhere from a 30 gallon to 120 gallon. I have 2 1/2 baths, 5 people in the house, well pump motor is a Franklin 2801084915 1 HP, 230 Volt. The sizing charts that I see online are very difficult to understand, and while shopping online for a pressure tank, its confusing that a 52 gallon tank is equivalent to a 120 gallon tank??
Just wondering what my minimum/maximum size tank I should install?
How much does the "drawdown" gpm matter?
Some people say, to be safe, go with the larger tank.....
Thanks in advance for the help.
