I've been in my current home 8 years.
We have a galvanized hydro-pneumatic pressure tank with check valve just before the tank, avc valve on the tank, and bleeder orifice down the well. The pump cycles at 35 and 55psi.
Other than changing the old leaky pressure gauge, I've never had to do any maintenance to the water system. Works great! As far as I can tell, this stuff has been in service since the house was built in 1973.
What's the life expantancy of these tanks?
Can the old style systems still be purchased? Vendors?
Thanks!
