Have an old 15 year air-water separator tank by Clayton Mark that has just started to leak. This tank is 5' 8" tall and 2' wide. The shallow well pump is a 1/2 hp. Flint and Walling with a measly 2 1/2 gpm. Do not know how deep well is. Pump runs for a long time before shutoff (on 20 psi, off 40 psi). What size/type of tank should I use to replace this huge tank? Am concerned that with only 2.5 gal. gallons per minute that I may run out of water if I use a bladder type. Should I replace with same style of tank that I presently have? Any reccomendations on best mfg? Would like to stay away from the air charging maintenace that comes with the air seperator tanks if possible, but don't want to run out of water. Wife is going thru "the change" and I don't need her to run out of water doing the laundry...she might change me!!! Any help will be greatly appreciated...thanks!
