How do I know if my pressure tank is bad?

The most common sign is short cycling — your pump kicks on every time you open a faucet. Other signs include pressure surges, waterlogging, and visible rust or leaks on the tank.

How long does a pressure tank last?

Most quality bladder-style pressure tanks last 10 to 15 years. Tank lifespan depends on water quality, proper air charge maintenance, and whether the system is correctly sized.

What size pressure tank do I need?

Tank size depends on your pump's flow rate and your household water usage patterns. We size tanks to minimize pump cycling and extend pump life — not just to fit the space available.

Pressure Tank Installations & Repairs

The pressure tank is one of the most overlooked components in a well system — until it fails. A properly sized and charged tank prevents your pump from short-cycling, extends pump life significantly, and keeps water pressure consistent throughout your home. We install, service, and repair tanks with the right size for your system.
