Because the pressure tank is a core component of the entire well system responsible for regulating pressure and for easing the workload of the well pump the importance of selecting a the right well pressure tank cannot be overemphasized.
Well storage tank pressure.
The tank s steel shell supports the water weight to ensure water never sits in loose fitting vinyl or rubber bags that can fold crease and wear.
As the tank fills with water it compresses the air chamber.
If your well tank is on a 40 60 pressure switch your pressure setting should be 38 psi.
Most well tanks come set at 30 50.
The difference between cut in and cut out values should not be more than 20 psi.
Selecting a poorly made pressure tank may result in more troubleshooting scenarios than necessary.
The cut on pressure for the well pump is 30 psi so the pressure of the tank should have a pressure of 28 psi.
