Hi All, I have just bought a small cabin (1 bathroom and a kitchen sink, all on one floor). In the basement there is a 400 volt (3 phase) floor mounted pump and a 200 liter pressure tank. It all works but the water pump leaks pretty badly. The tank is the older type with no diaphragm and looks...

My Myers MPD31 hydro-pneumatic 32 gallon pressure tank sprung a leak yesterday and needs to be replaced. I already bought a replacement unit but found out at home that its diameter is too wide for the spot where it is supposed to be installed. Unfortunately I won't be able to get a fitting unit...

I had a look at the following thread which is now closed: https://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/submersible-pumps-and-multiple-check-valves.26301/ The diagram at the top says that there should be a check valve directly above the pump, but all most water pumps that are described here...
