Pressurized Potable Water Storage Tanks

Older types of pressure tanks include galvanized steel tanks and galvanized steel tanks with a floating wafer.

Pressurized potable water storage tanks.

Pressurized well tank the water worker 32 gal. The tank s steel shell supports the water weight to ensure water never sits in loose fitting vinyl or rubber bags that can fold crease and wear. Locate the pressure valve under the blue cap on the tank. Use air compressor or bicycle pump to re pressurize the 4 gallon tank to 5 psi and 7psi for the 14 gallon tank.

Pressurized well tank is constructed of deep drawn steel and features stainless steel waterway lining for durability. Item 424503 model ht119b. Water worker 119 gallon vertical pressure tank. T hroughout history humans have relied on water wells as a primary means of accessing potable water.

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. 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. Today pressure tanks with a diaphragm or a rubber bladder are common. Disconnect the yellow line from the tank valve.

Up until 1970 the most common type of pressure tank used with a private water system was a galvanized steel tank. Point y on figure 1. Combing a powerful 1 2 hp pump with a diaphragm tank this booster can increase low water pressure up to 50 psi. Close the tank s ball valve.

Use an air pressure gauge to check the current air pressure.
