Pressure tanks and storage tanks

If the pump kicks on every time you wash a glass, the pressure tank is often waterlogged or undersized. If the well makes two gallons a minute and the house wants forty, you need storage — a tank the well can fill while you sleep — not a bigger pump that sucks the hole dry.

When to call

• Rapid cycling, hammer, or a tank that is heavy with water and silent on the air side.
• A constant-pressure / VFD system whose small tank or transducer is lying — see the VFD hub.
• Low-yield well, fire-department storage, or a float that no longer shuts the well off (we have pulled those jobs in Anza, Escondido, and Fallbrook).
• A poly tank adapter weeping at the well house — a small leak that empties the reserve.

What we do

We check precharge, switch or transducer, and how the well recovers. Then we replace or add the tank that matches the system, not a catalog size. Related: pump repair, no-water emergency.

Questions we hear before this job

Pressure tank or storage tank?

A pressure tank sits on the pressure side and stops the pump from slamming on every faucet. A storage tank is a cistern or fire tank the well slowly fills — common on low-yield wells. People mix the words up. We will name the one you actually have.

Do you quote tank prices on this page?

No. Material, pad, haul-away, and how the well is piped change the number. We quote the property.
