Should my well tank feel empty?
So it will feel like it is empty if you shake it or tap on it. The air in the bladder needs to be “pre-charged” like the spare tire on your car. Using a 40/60 pressure switch, the tank should have 38 PSI of air when you take it out of the box, or before it is even hooked up to the pipe.
Why the water tank is empty?
The water tank could be empty simply because the well ran out of water (water was pulled out of the well faster than it could recover), or perhaps because the water pump never came on to replenish the water supply. See WHAT IS SHORT CYCLING or a bladder that’s stuck to itself (pump always comes on immediately).
Can a well pressure tank be too big?
The downsides to a larger tank are simply that it costs more and takes up more space. The only real problem is if you have too small of a tank you’ll cause the pump to cycle too quickly which wears it out faster. Your well-pump should be sized to match the “make-up” (the speed at which water flows back into the well).
How much does it cost to replace a well pressure tank?
The average cost to replace a well pressure tank is $275 to $500 depending on the tank’s capacity, and it’s pressure rating. High-end models or complex tank hookups with plumbing relocations can cost over $1,000. Replacing a well pump and pressure tank together costs $800 to $2,300.
How long does a well tank last?
Cheaper pressure tanks will last 5 years, while high quality pressure tanks could last up to 30 years. If the water is clean and the tank is properly sized it should be lasting an average of 15 years.
