I replaced my 44 gallon Well X Trol tank yesterday although it was still working (however, I think it was waterlogged). That tank was covered for 20 years before the shed (cover) rotted and had to be taken down. Since then, the tank has been outside in the weather here in Texas (extreme heat {Max 112 degrees F four times and modest cold minimum around 0 degees F a couple of times}. The tank was originally installed in 1983-4 as I just don't remember the exact year. So, with that being said, I will let you guess what brand replaced it! I could be wrong about Well X Trol being the best, but 40 years should suffice my needs. Going to take the old tank and make and auxillary air tank for my compressor! The cost of the Well X Trol was twice as much as the cheapest 44 gallong tank I could find, and 25% more than the best "consumer" branded tank and cost me $756 delivered to my house. After checking, the best of the consumer brands start having problems after 2 years and some claimed to have gotten 5 plus (just long enough to be out of warranty) years, but no one claimed more than 6 years. As for the weight, I am 63 years old and small framed and can carry it--69 lbs.

@alvinboss3672 Like I said they both make very good well tanks. I buy from one of two well drilling supply company and they pretty close in their pricing. I buy the WR140 for $483.43 and the WX250 costs $615. As far as the warranty if the tank lasts over two years without issues, it will probably last 20 years plus. They usually show manufacturers defects pretty quickly if they exist. Wellrites definitely give you more bang for your buck.

If I could ask why would a system continue to work with water pressure even if the pressure tank has failed and does not hold air?

To relief the actual well pump from overworking and prolong it's life span?
@RCworstwater4 жыл бұрын
Good question! The job of the pressure tank is to give the pump a chance to rest. The bigger the tank, the longer the resting periods and longer life you'll get out of the well pump. With no tank or a failed tank the pump will turn on every time you use water and will quickly burn out.

Don’t forget..... no matter the type of tank a anti cycle valve should not be over looked. tanks are much SMALLER, EASIER TO HANDLE( 1 person is needed) with a small tanks, always imstall a anti cycle valve such as the brass or stainless steel BARRETT pump stop( est.30-40%) cheaper than other brands and made with top grade brass and stainless steel,I also seen some plastic ,must be careful when temperatures are below 32 I think it’s a good idea to have a small space heater inside your pump house atleast insulate the pipes it keeps the wind shield factor off the pipes, doesn’t keep from freezing, only helps reduce chance, plastic is for those on a s budget that need to keep the well motor working for as long as possible......But the other brands are $1000, to compare $600 for Barrett pump stop cycle cop version all Theses valve do the same thing., no reason one should be almost $1000( it was pretty easy to install and setting are pretty simple). ..remember Always install a anti cycle valve. I have the Barrett Pump stop, cycle cop.( made in the USA, I think the price starts at $99 , Or go with the more expensive brands but don’t forget to install one, unless you have a very big tank and only a 3/4-1’’ pipe on discharge side small house no garden etc. Good luck. Remember YOU HAVE OPTIONS. this is not rocket science and anti cycle valves have been around for decades. Bottom line don’t let a company make it so expensive to where you have to for-go a anti cycle valve. Buy a small tank and get a anti cycle valve. Lots of rural people live on fix incomes and want a product that is made to last w/out paying 2 and 3 times over what it should retail for only because a company spends hundreds of thousands on advertisements , sounded to me I was paying for the name and all the money added to each valve for advertising,no thanks... SO you may not realize other company’s sell anti cycle valves for a REASONABLE PRICE... remember Barrett pump stop is Assembled in USA(I’m like 90% sure I know it’s not China tho), I also liked the warranty, the price w/ good warranty and made in USA was enough for me to buy a smaller tank and a cycle valve to PROLONG my pump(well pump replacement was/is not cheap, I want my pump and motor to last as long as possible, so I did NOT skip on researching pump cycling and the effects it has on well motors along with offering other benefits like uses less electricity and how effective a anti cycle valve is and when you can find one on the web at a price that makes sense and seems FAIR I to added one, most people don’t install them because the price is so HIGH( doesn’t seem reasonable or fair)thankfully I found BARRETT PUMP STOP, AND ORDERED the 1” cycle cop in brass and it was easy to install and at the price I paid I can replace it w/out having worry about cost( will I be able to afford it, when the time comes to have it replace, no worries) and with COVID-19 I could have went with the plastic that is for budgeting people with a well , WHO REALLY WANT THE WELL TO LAST-as long as possible and who can’t afford big tanks,high price anti cycle valves...... it would be my last choice the option of plastic is great although it must be insulated properly (often people don’t put insulation when building a well pump house... ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO INSULATE THE PUMP HOUSE WALLS AND ALSO ALL Exposed pipe or pipe that is less that 6” underground. Also remember to turna hose Bibb on with a little stream of water coming out when temps are 32 or below, I normally do it when it drops below 27. Also if your well is Cycling on and off really fast, you need air in your tank OR YOUR TANK IS BROKEN(most likely) so replace tank and while your at it install new valve to PROLONG THE LIFE OF YOUR WELL.. a well or anything electrical turning on and off more than 6 times in 1 hour will decrease the life of that motor.

Is it a bladder tank or diaphram tank? You keep saying "bladder" but the tank looks like a "diaphram" style tank. Very confusing...

150 psi means what when the safety is set at half. Nice claim but of no real practical advantage. Like the burst pressure of pex. Fun to debate but of no real value.
