“Installation was easy. You can purchase a replacement bladder for the inside of the tank but it was 3/4 the cost of a totally new tank so I just purchased a new tank. FYI these tanks are designed to reduce the number of times your pump cycles so that you reduce wear and tear. Works well with my 1/2 horsepower well pump. It comes prepressurized with air but I had to bleed off some air as it was over 100 degrees so the ambient temperature was different. Once the tank heated up I pulled more air off the tank and was ready to go. (Follow mfg recommendations on your starting pressure for your pressure sensor.). If you check your pressure gauge and it is at zero, you probably have too much air in your tank causing the hydraulic pressure to go below 10 psi, where some pressure sensors will cut power to your pump (to keep it from burning out). Either that or your well is running dry.”
“This is a great product! This will be my 3rd tank in 22 years, the first two rusted out at the pipe fitting at bottom of tank. Tank is kept in well house out of weather but the temperature difference of well water makes tank sweat causing enough moisture for steel tanks to fail every 10 years or so...the price difference is only about $100 USD. Time will tell but I am banking on this one lasting longer than me.”
“This WellMate installation tee makes the installation process for your pressure tank easy. Would be a much better product if it included one more 1.25" brass nipple; I had to improvise.”
“Had to replace my 2 20-gallon steel tanks they were 15 years old and the bladders finally gave out in them. I searched everywhere on the internet and finally found these tanks as an alternative. My old steel tanks only supplied me with about 25 gallons of RO water and I would find myself often waiting for the system to regenerate more water before I could do a water change on my Aquarium. I love these new tanks, they have replaceable bladders so no need to throw them out when and if they fail, they weigh significantly less than my old steel tanks and hold far more water. I'm getting about 18 gallons per tank instead of the usual 11 to 12 gallons that were held in the steel tanks. I did have to add some fittings to reduce the connection size to fit my 3/8 inch R/O line but that was easy thanks to my local hardware store. If your looking for an alternative for your water storage I would highly recommend these to anyone. Next time instead of replacing the entire tank I'll only need to add a new bladder, something I couldn't do with the old system.”
