As water is pumped from the well into the pressure tank, it compresses the air in the tank until it reaches a preset level. When someone turns on a faucet, air pressure in the tank forces water throughout the plumbing until the pressure drops to the preset trigger pressure. That tells the water pump to turn on and water is then drawn into the house and tank.
When the faucet is shut off, pressure builds until it is restored to its default shutoff level. Pressure tank size and the drawdown will depend on the amount of water the pump can draw into the home in 1 to 2 minutes. If your home uses more than the average amount of water then a large pressure tank is needed.
As we all know, things change as time passes by. Just like how phones upgrade every year, that is how pressure tanks upgrade as well. They become more advanced as time passes by. So if you have an old pressure tank, you should consider pressure tank replacements. This is because a new pressure tank will work better than an old one. This should be replaced with the help of a professional. You can find a professional at Dick Joyce Well Drilling. We have pressure tank replacements specialists who know their job well.
