Hi folks, I had a plumber in this morning looking at what it would take to run a dedicated cold line to feed my second floor. Right now it's a single line that feeds both floors. While he was there he said that I should have a small pressure/expansion tank on my water heater. It's a common 40 - 50 gal electric water heater. We don't have a hot water pressure issue.
My question is, - what is the function/purpose of this pressure tank on the water heater, and why would I need it? I don't believe I do, but don't want to overlook anything.
(I will be changing out my well tank soon as the bladder is leaking, and either putting in the same again or going with the Cycle stop system - have not decided yet)
thanks everyone.
