A pressure tank is a vital component of a water system, as it stores and releases water as needed to maintain consistent water pressure in the home. Maintaining a pressure tank well is essential to guarantee it will last and work for a long time.
Below are some tips that can help you take good care of your pressure tank:
1. Check The Pressure Regularly
Set the pressure tank to the manufacturer’s recommended level, which is typically between 40 and 60 PSI. You may use a pressure gauge to check and make adjustments if necessary to give the recommended pressure level.
2. Monitor The Water Level
The water level in the pressure tank should be between the “well” and “pump” marks. Too little water in the tank may force the pump to operate nonstop. It may shorten the life of the dispensing pump and cause harm to it. A water hammer, a loud slamming sound that happens when the water flow is abruptly stopped, can be produced if the water level is too high.
3. Drain The Pressure Tank Annually
Draining the pressure tank once a year will remove any sediment that has accumulated at the bottom. To drain the pressure tank, turn off the power to the dispensing pump and open the drain valve at the bottom. Allow the water to drain out completely, and then close the valve.
4. Check For Leaks
Leaks can occur in the pressure tank or the fittings. Check for leaks by looking for water on the floor around the pressure tank or if the precision dispensing of water is no longer that accurate. If you find a leak, it should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
5. Replace The Bladder If Needed
The bladder within the pressure tank is in charge of separating air and water. If the bladder is damaged, it will be unable to separate the air and water properly. In other words, it has the potential to cause the pump to run continuously, so replace the damaged bladder as soon as possible.
6. Keep The Pressure Tank Free From Debris And Dirt
Since pressure tanks are frequently found in basements or crawl spaces, it’s crucial to maintain the vicinity clear of clutter, including the fluid dispensing pump. The drain valve on the pressure tank might become blocked with dirt and debris, which can lead to leaks or other problems.
By taking good care of your pressure tank, you can ensure that your water system will continue to provide you with consistent water pressure.
