This tank uses compressed air to bring pressurized water from your <a href=\"https:\/\/lentheplumber.com\/northern-va-area\/wells\/well-pump-repair-replacement-installation\/\">well pump<\/a> into your home.<\/p>\n<p>The tank stores pressured water to be propelled by air through your pipes, and when it recognizes that the water pressure is low, it alerts your pressure switch to turn your water pump back on. This prevents your well pump from turning on and off every time you use your home\u2019s water and helps to extend the life of your well pump.<\/p>\n<p>Even with a functioning well pressure tank, you may still not have the water pressure you desire.

If your well tank is set at 30\/50 as most are, then we recommend setting the pressure to 28 psi.<\/div>\n<h3>How do I check my well tank\u2019s pressure setting?<\/h3>\n<div>Your well tank\u2019s pressure setting should be written on the side of it. However, to check yourself, let the water in your home run when the tank is full.<br \/>\nBy watching the pressure switch, you can determine when the well pump turns on and off. You pressure switch should cut on at 30 psi and cut off at 50 psi.<\/div>\n<h3>What causes a well pressure tank failure?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Most well pressure tank failures are due to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Corrosion<\/li>\n<li>Extended use<\/li>\n<li>Pressure switch failure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We highly recommend managing your <a href=\"https:\/\/lentheplumber.com\/northern-va-area\/wells\/water-treatment-testing\/\">water quality<\/a> and scheduling a yearly inspection of your tank to avoid these issues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is a Well Pressure Tank?
