Pressure Tanks

 A  pressure tank stores energy in the form of compressed air. The well  pump puts water into the pressure tank. The air that is stored in the  pressure tanks bladder becomes compressed. When water is used, such as  opening a faucet in the house, the compressed air forces the water out  of the tank. The well pumps primary job is to fill this tank. The  pressure tanks job is to supply your home with water. The tank must be  properly sized and properly maintained so that the well pump does not  start too frequently. 

Maintenance:  At least every three months check the air pressure in the tank. Add air  according the the manufacturer’s instructions. 

Method:  Turn off well pump. Open a spigot to relieve water pressure to zero  psi. Use a pressure gauge, such as the type used to check tire pressure,  to read air pressure at the schrader valve on top of the tank. The  pressure reading should be 4 psi below pump cut on pressure. For  example, if the well pump turns on at 30 psi, the pressure tank should  have 26 psi of air in the tank. If the pressure is lower than required,  add air with an air compressor. 

These  are general instructions. Consult your tank's instructions for  maintenance details. Failure to maintain air pressure may result in  damage to the bladder and will surely result in short-cycling of the  pump. Short cycling is a condition in which the well pump starts too  frequently. Short cycling will result in higher energy consumption and a  shortened life expectancy of the pump and control devices.
