Well Water Pressure Tank Installation & Service
Consistent Water Pressure For Your Entire Home
Is your water pressure fluctuating, or have you noticed your well pump turning on and off more frequently than usual? A properly functioning pressure tank is essential for maintaining steady water flow and protecting your well pump from premature failure.
At Tri-County Pumps, we specialize in installing and maintaining high-performance pressure tanks throughout Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. We ensure your system is perfectly balanced to provide the reliable, “city-like” water pressure your family deserves.
What Does Your Well Pressure Tank Do?
Eliminates “Short-Cycling”
A healthy tank prevents your pump from rapidly clicking on and off. This reduces mechanical stress, thereby preventing expensive motor burnouts and electrical failures.
Steady, Consistent Water Flow
Modern tanks use advanced diaphragm technology to eliminate the “pulsing” water pressure often found in older systems, providing a smooth, continuous flow for showers and appliances.
Energy-Efficient Operation
By reducing the number of times your pump has to start, a high-capacity pressure tank lowers your monthly electricity usage and decreases the wear on your well’s electrical components.
Larger Water Storage Reserve
Properly sized tanks provide a larger volume of “ready-to-use” water, preventing a sudden drop in pressure when multiple faucets are running.
What Does Your Well Pressure Tank Do?
A well water pressure tank serves two vital purposes: it stores a pressurized reserve of water for immediate use and acts as a buffer to prevent your well pump from starting every time you turn on a faucet.
Inside the tank, a compressed-air chamber pushes against a heavy-duty diaphragm or bladder, forcing water through your pipes at a consistent rate.
By providing this “drawdown” capacity, the tank allows the pump to rest between uses, significantly extending the lifespan of your entire well system and ensuring smooth, steady flow at every tap in your home.
Professional Pressure Tank Solutions
With over 30 years of local experience, Tri-County Pumps knows how to size a tank to match your specific well pump and household demand. We don’t just “swap out” tanks; we analyze your entire system’s pressure settings and air-to-water ratios to ensure your new tank delivers peak performance from the moment it’s installed.
Professional Tank Installation & Sizing
We help you select and install the ideal tank for your home’s footprint and water needs, ensuring all connections are leak-free and the air charge is perfectly calibrated.
Pressure Switch & Gauge Replacement
A failing pressure switch can cause your tank to over-pressurize or fail to trigger the pump. We replace faulty switches and gauges to restore total control over your water system.
Bladder & Diaphragm Troubleshooting
If your tank has “waterlogged,” it can no longer hold an air charge. Our technicians diagnose internal failures and provide fast replacement to get your system back in balance.
System Optimization and Tune-Ups
Already have a tank but experiencing low pressure? We provide comprehensive system tune-ups, including air charge adjustments and sediment flushing, to improve your current performance.
