Contact Mr. Cranor at 804-873-8534 or by Email: Thanks to Bill Kortebein for discussing dealing with a water-logged collapsed bladder water pressure tank 07/24/2010. Maximum operating pressure: 125 PSI. What kind of warranty does WM wellmate have? Fiberglass construction makes the tanks impervious to rust and the epoxy-resin sealed outer shell will not dent. Type 1 or captive air water pressure tanks sold by WellMate and the companys WM well tanks, and similar tanks from some other manufacturers are constructed of fiberglass and use an internal bladder to hold the air charge. Will adding more air to the tank help this or will it eventually increase over time? Harry, if the water tank does not have enough air (that is it's waterlogged) you'll notice it because the pump will cycle on and off rapidly. Equivalent in drawdown to a 350 gallon galvanized atmospheric tank. If the water is clean and the tank is properly sized it should be lasting an average of 15 years. Carton dimension: 48" H X 20" W X 20" L. Weight: 26 lbs.Factory 5 years warranty period for potable water residential installations and 2 years for non-residential installations. Pentair WellMate Tank Accessories and Replacement Parts. Equivalent in drawdown to a 82 gallon galvanized atmospheric tank. In this case you may need to replace the AVC. Not for use with hot water heaters. // ]]> The general rule is to set the pressure at 2 PSI below the cut-in pressure (the pressure at which the pump turns on). Draining and adding air to an AVC type tank with a failed AVC also MIGHT work to improve performance for a while (until the air is reabsorbed back into the water over time) but you need to replace the AVC. . The larger the drawdown, the longer your pump will run for each cycle increasing pump life by reducing the number of times the pump has to turn on. Internet prices apply only to Internet purchases. To Speak With a Systems Engineer, Please Call 800-767-8731 So if the pumped water pressure only reaches 38 psi that must be where the pressure control switch turned off the pump.The fact that you see only 1/2 gallon of water before the pump turns on could mean that the tank is waterlogged - not successfully drained or air-charged, OR that the control switch is not set properly or not working properly.
