How to Tell If Your Pressure Tank Needs Service
If you rely on a well as your primary water source, your water system undoubtedly includes a water pump and pressure tank. The primary role of the pressure tank is to serve as a water storage vessel, which saves wear-and-tear on your water pump and prevents premature "pump burnout". The most efficient types of pressure tanks are equipped with an expandable bladder-like bag located inside the tank, which keeps air and water separated. This prevents the air from dissolving in the water, eliminating the need to constantly replenish the pressure tank with air.
What Happens When the Bag Wears Out?
Over time, the bag inside the pressure tank can wear out and tear, resulting in leakage. When this occurs, you may notice your water pump runs for shorter periods of time, which puts a greater strain on the motor. Pieces of the torn bladder can also clog your water lines. You'll need the service of a reliable residential plumbing contractor like Haller Enterprises.
