Most modern well systems contain a pressurized well tank. This is a fixture that makes your well far more efficient and convenient. Learn how a well tank works and how it can benefit your Port Gamble home if your well doesn’t already contain one.
The Role of the Well Tank
As implied, pressurized well tanks use pressurized, or compressed air to push water out of the well and into the pipes. The pressure automatically switches and shuts when you turn the faucet on and off, making the system highly convenient and close to maintenance-free.
Preserves the Well Pump
The well tank also stores water in the tank. This makes the well water readily accessible without having to repeatedly activate the well pump. Without the tank storing water reserves, the pump would be in use far more often, leading to accelerated wear and tear.
Access Water for Emergency Use
A dry well can leave your property without running water. As mentioned, well tanks store water, between 20 and 120 gallons depending on the size. This gives you continued access to water in the event of the well drying up.
Minimizes Hydraulic Shock
Hydraulic shock, also known as water hammer, occurs when highly pressurized water abruptly changes in movement through the pipes. The sudden redirect of kinetic energy can stress the pipes and valves. Well tanks act as a shock absorber that reduces the severity of water hammering.
