Your well pump isn't working alone.
Behind the scenes, your pressure tank plays an important role in keeping water flowing smoothly throughout your home.
Here's what it does:
Stores pressurized water — An air cushion inside the tank helps maintain water pressure.
Reduces pump cycling — Your pump doesn't need to start every time you turn on a faucet.
Helps protect your pump — Fewer starts and stops can reduce unnecessary wear on the system.
Keeps water pressure steadier — The tank helps provide consistent flow when you use water around the house.
When the pressure tank isn't working properly, you may notice pressure fluctuations or frequent pump cycling.
