Does your home rely on a private well? If so, it can greatly benefit from a water tank. This component serves multiple purposes, from extending the life of the pipes to acting as a water reserve. Learn how water storage tanks enhance the role of the well pump and how they can be an asset for Poulsbo homeowners.
How the Tank Works
The typical water storage tank is installed between the well pump and the home and acts as an intermediary between the two structures. The cylindrical tank contains a pressure switch that regulates the tank’s internal pressure. This switch automatically activates the well’s pump to achieve the desired pressure and shuts it off when a pressure threshold is reached. This ensures adequate water pressure in the kitchen and bathroom faucets as well as the shower.
Selecting a Tank Size
Water tanks come in varying capacities, with some able to accommodate over 100 gallons. Several factors to be assessed by a contractor will determine the appropriate tank suitable for your property. This includes the well pump’s flow rate and the household’s average water usage.
Secondary Tank for Supplementary Storage
If you have a low-yielding well or a well prone to dry spells, the contractor may recommend a supplementary tank. This may comprise of a second or even third tank that acts as backup and for holding water reserves. This ensures ample water access even during periods of peak use.
