pressure tank

Hoping I can find some help in these forums. My house has a shallow well (about 25 feet deep) that can be used for irrigation, but the house is on city water. It appears that when the house was flipped before we bought it that the flippers gave up on using the well for the sprinkler system and...

Hi all, my house came with a well setup that must have been the primary water source before they offered municipal water. House was built in the 60s. Anyway, I believe it's a deep well as there are two pvc pipes going into the jet pump, but I dont know anything about the well itself. There's...

My family just purchased a house on a well that had water delivery issues. So I replaced the jet pump on my water tank to house water supply. The pressure switch rapidly turns on /off. How do I fix this issue? Also was the plumbing done right for this system? I copied the plumbing that was there...

I currently have a 120 gallon Wellmate pressure tank WM35-WB that I believe is pushing 20 years in age (I purchased home a few years ago & think its original to the build) & I'm considering a replacement. In shopping around, Menards sells a 119 gallon tank from a company called "State" MPT-119...

I am installing a system to combat some iron bacteria, hydrogen sulfide, and iron. I am curious if I am able to install a contact tank prior to my pressure tank. Reason being that it might help to eliminate some buildup of the oxidized iron in my pressure tank. It basically would be flowing in...

Aloha all, we had a full house last week and now were having trouble with water pressure. My 1/2 HP Grundfos well pump has recently started taking an exceptionally long time to pressurize my tank (15-20mins). Cut in pressure is 30 PSI cut out pressure is 50 PSI. We have a 44 gallon Fexcon...

We are replacing our Well Pressure tank. My concern is about losing prime, because there is no cut off between the pressure tank and well. I have posted pictures below of the Pump we have. I have included Photos below. When i add the new pressure tank, i plan on added a cut off between the...

I’m a DIY sort when time permits and have run into the limits of what I’m able to figure out. A little background: the house was built in the mid/late 1800's, well depth and static level are unknown at present. The only well info I have is a note on the power service cutoff that says "60 ft of...

I am preparing to replace my well pump pressure switch- the one that runs the pump when the water pressure gets below a threshold. The articles I have read say to shut off the power supply to the pump then to shut off the valve from the pressure tank to the house and drain the pressure tank. I...

Hello, I am looking to install a shallow well jet pump system to my home. The pump I am considering using is a 1HP shallow well jet pump. I have 2 wells at roughly 20' with a selector valve to run off of one or the other. My question is, What size of a pressure tank would be suitable for this...
