Pumps, Wells, Tanks, Controls / 20 gallon pressure tank with 1hp pump
« on: February 01, 2018, 02:57:23 PM »
We replaced a 42 gallon galvanized pressure tank with a 20 gallon galvanized tank this summer. Today we had to replace the pump and pump motor. The well service person told me that because the pressure tank was so small, the pump was constantly cycling on and off and that I would be lucky to get 3 months use with this size tank. The well's only use is to fill a 100 gallon stock tank with a float valve--sometimes two or three 100 gallon stock tanks, but right now only one.
I have to go with a galvanized tank because the system sits out in the open, and I understand that bladder tanks don't do well outside.
Is there anything that I can have installed that will avoid the need to buy a larger pressure tank. They are NOT cheap.
