Replaced the pressure tank for my well.
Amazing the difference it makes to the water pressure in the house. The old pressure tank was the same size as this one, 40 gallons. But it was 19+ years old and apparently had leaked/lost pressure. Its been pretty hard to rinse the shampoo from our hair lately. Oh the pressure is good WHEN the pump kicks in, but when the pump cycled off the pressure would slowly drop to intolerable levels. And with a 40 gallon pressure tank the pump would cycle off pretty regularly.
So my buddy the plumber showed up, 2 hours later, the new tank was done.
If you have a well and if its older and you've got lousy water pressure, consider swapping the pressure tank!
The lovely Mrs_Bob is much happier. That makes me much happier too
I don't mess with plumbing, I'd like to learn, but every time I try I end up with a leak! Think I'll stick to electrical, paint, plaster, tile. . .
