I had the same thought, too! In fact I asked about that to 2 different techs from the pump co. and another tech from the well drilling co... and they all independently stated the 22 gallon tank should be fine. That said, I have another neighbor who has his pressure tank in his garage (his...

When I drained the tank, I used a 1 gallon jug and did it bit by bit so it took 10 minutes or so (this was much more convenient than using a hose, and I was alone when I did it, so I needed to be at the spigot to turn on/off). Most of it came out under pressure. I hope to hear back from the...

That is what I suspected. D is (or should be) empty, anyway. Once I find out if the pump company will warranty the tank I'll probably chop it off. The whole array is a bit messy anyway. Until I hear back from the pump Co., I'm trying not to touch anything too much to avoid doing something...

The pump that went out in fall/2023 was a 1/2 hp 4in. Electric 2-wire, 10GPM, 230V. We knew we would be deepening the well in a few months, so we upgraded the pump at that time so we would not have to do it again when the well was deepened in 5/24. I don't have the model number (I will have...

I’ll try my best to describe this. This is all in the crawl space. The house is a split-level, meaning it has a main floor, and then off to the side that floor splits up 6 steps to an upstairs, and also down 6 steps to a basement. Here’s a random pic of a split -level I grabbed off Google...

looks like a 22 gallon. I'll explain the pipes as soon as I can.

So I've tinkered a bit. I turned off the well pump, closed the valve that went from the pressure tank to the house, and I drained the pressure tank. I measured about 5.5-6 gallons of water that came out. (this includes several pipes that hold at least another gallon) With the pressure tank...

Thanks! That is too bad, as the tank is not very old. Could a high amount of sediment have caused this? Also, assuming the diaphragm IS ruptured, then if I turn off the power to the well and drain the tank, should I expect to hear air hissing out the drain? (I haven't tried this, but I'm...

Possibly. I'm not sure what the ideal distance is between the pressure gauge and tank. It is around 2 or 3 ft. I will drain the tank again and see if I can measure the volume that exits

Hello! Our well pump is short cycling. the odd bit is the inconsistent way the water pressure drops in the line when water is being used. Setup: -This is a residential/single family home -Pressure tank was replaced about 4 years ago -Pressure switch is 40/60 and was replaced about 7 years ago...
