You may not notice, but your water pressure tank exerts a lot of effort into the household every day. Since its vital, its important to know how to maintain it and realize the signs that indicate theres a problem. If you use well water, you can tell theres a problem if the water pressure starts to decrease. This can be a problem related to the pressure tank, so once again, its important to know everything you need to learn about your water pressure tank.
The pressure tank and well pump work together to transport water. The pressure tank eases the work of the well pump so it doesnt have to turn on as often. The pressure tank is the battery of the system, storing all the pressure, and the well pump acts as a generator by creating the water pressure. The pressure tank and well pump work together to create your water pressure. If one component malfunctions or has problems, the other will get affected by it as well. If you ever need a plumbing repair service concerning pressure tank problems, call Mr. Rooter Plumbing and well send a plumber your way.
This depends on the quality and size of your pressure tank. If your pressure tank is on the lower end of the price spectrum, then your pressure tank may last for about 5 years. On the other hand, if you have a good quality pressure tank that has a higher price, it can last up to 25 years. The water quality in your home also has a great effect on your pressure tank. If you have hard water, and it contains rocks and sediments, this can harm the tank and decrease its lifetime.
You should know the signs that tell you its time to move on to a new pressure tank. You know somethings up when the water pressure is inconsistent and other problems emerge. Here are a few signs that can help you identify the problem and prevent any further damage to your water system.
One of the signs of a pressure tank issue is having the pressure change abruptly. If the needle on the pressure gauge is swinging back and forth between high and low points over the course of 20 seconds to 2 minutes, its a problem. If the pump swings on and off more than once in a span of 30 seconds, call a nearby plumber to come to check things out. Another sign is the top of your tank feeling cold and full. If you knock on the pressure tank a few times and it doesnt sound hollow, it may not be functioning properly.
There are certain tasks that a professional could do better. Call a plumbing repair service if you want to check the pressure in the water tank or if you have a blown diaphragm. If the pressure gauge reads less than 10 psi, you are likely to have a blown diaphragm.
If you need help repairing or renewing your pressure tank, call Mr. Rooter Plumbing and well be at your service as soon as possible.
