Pressurized Potable Water Storage Tanks

Disconnect the yellow line from the tank valve.

Pressurized potable water storage tanks.

Up until 1970 the most common type of pressure tank used with a private water system was a galvanized steel tank. As technology progresses the design and components of well systems become much more efficient and sustainable. There are different types of pressure tanks. Water worker 119 gallon vertical pressure tank.

Point y on figure 1. Today pressure tanks with a diaphragm or a rubber bladder are common. The water worker 32 gal. Pressurized well tank is constructed of deep drawn steel and features stainless steel waterway lining for durability.

Locate the pressure valve under the blue cap on the tank. One of the most essential components that make up a modern well system is the pressure tank which is responsible for several important functions such as maintaining system pressure. The system also combines a low pressure cut off switch and thermal sensor to prevent run on burn out conditions caused by water main pressure loss ensuring simple safe and efficient operation and system life longevity. T hroughout history humans have relied on water wells as a primary means of accessing potable water.

Use air compressor or bicycle pump to re pressurize the 4 gallon tank to 5 psi and 7psi for the 14 gallon tank. Close the tank s ball valve. Use an air pressure gauge to check the current air pressure. Older types of pressure tanks include galvanized steel tanks and galvanized steel tanks with a floating wafer.
