A pressure tank is an integral part of maintaining your well.
Water well bladder tank.
Water worker 119 gallon vertical pressure tank.
Use a car tire pressure gauge to measure pressure.
The following will explain how a bladder diaphragm tank works in a well water system.
A properly sized pressure tank ensures your household water needs are met and your pump is protected against short cycling.
Starting with a full tank the pressure gauge should read somewhere between 40 60 psi.
Pressurized well tanks extend the lifespan of your well pump by preventing rapid on off cycling of the pump and maintaining water pressure throughout your home.

The water pump is off and the system is stable and idle.
Pressurized well tank is constructed of deep drawn steel and features stainless steel waterway lining for durability.
For this scenario a pressure range of 40 60 psi will be used.
In a well system with a bladder style pressure tank the well bladder pressure should be 2 psi lower than the cut in pressure for the well pump.
You can charge the tank via the air valve using a car tire inflator a compressor or even a bike pump.
