BLADDER PRESSURE TANKS

Hopefully you have the section of pipe that runs to the pressure switch from the main line.

Look at that pipe, look in the diaphram/switch section.

Sounds like some thing small and loose: Rust, scale, could be anything. As pressure releives this will hold the pressure on the switch.

Then you will know how far to go replacing it. You'll probably have to replace both anyway but look first.

BLADDER PRESSURE TANKS

1 night in a motel will cover the cost of all new parts. 1 five day vacation with the signifacant other whinning the whole time shoud be worth 2-3 new systems plus a plumber to do the work.

I would not just up and replace the tank. BUT if it is all out it makes sense to replace it. One less problem next year.

With your water quality in the spring I would check the pipes from the well also. Are they steel? How old? It might justify a trip later this summer to install plastic.

BLADDER PRESSURE TANKS

I use plastic/pvc on evrything. All the air in my shop is pvc. Lots easier to fix. Out and in the pressure tank or up to the octupuss looking fitting it's all black plastic.

Neighbor burned his house down sweating copper. Copper looks purty when done by a professional. If I could afford a pro I'd do it if I could wait for them to find time in their schedules.

I only have a guy with a little knowledge about alot of things trying to keep all of the systems working and maintained around here. He does almost all of it and sometimes it ain't purty but it works.
