I have an old piston pump (works great) and I want to hook it up to a new pre-pressurized pressure tank. Do I have to bleed all the air from the pressure tank first, or just hook it up like normal?
YOU CANNOT INSTALL A PISTON ON A BLADDER TANK AND EXPECT IT TO WORK PROPERLY.
Typically a piston pump will void the warranty of any bladder tank.
I'm another Hardware guy and I sell hundreds of POMPCOS PISTON PUMPs, we used to sell DURA Pistons but they stopped producing piston pumps.
Great machines that require an air volume control unit installed on the pressure tank because the Piston pump does create air and the extreme pressures of the piston, if you are unaware of that then you are completely uneducated on the subject and should not give advice.
I would recommend contacting someone who is a certified Well Technician/ Pump technician such as myself to properly guide you on a SAFE and reliable well system.
Never count on people who have worked on "countless" pumps but have no idea what parts a relevant to what, and cannot confidently and completely answer your questions.
Are you for real? Who said anything about any of us using piston pumps and bladder tanks. That was your creation. Those of us in the well and pump business haven't used a piston pump for a well installation in over 60 years. I don't know what a sugar shack is and don't care, you just keep doing what your doing and we will keep doing what we do.You can cry all you want but it don't change the facts and the fact is you cant install piston pumps on bladder tanks without voiding your warranty. We use them in sugar shacks and I am well aware of how they work. You go ahead use up them bladder tanks champ, you go girl.
