Common Pressure Tank Issues 

Some of these problems are obvious while others are not so noticeable at first. Here’s a shortlist of some of these issues-

• Air pressure valve is swinging back and forth
• Top of the tank is cold and feels full
• Waterlogged– meaning that the tank is filled with too much water
• Air leaks

If you’re the average homeowner then you might not be fully aware of all these issues and that’s okay. When your pump stops working or isn’t working to its full potential a malfunctioning pressure tank is sometimes the cause. This is because the pressure tank is what pushes water. If there’s no pressure then your pump isn’t going to work.

Can You Fix Your Well Pressure Yourself?

Home and business owners love do-it-yourself jobs. There’s nothing wrong with that but working on a pressure tank does require some tools and the right knowledge. The first thing that you should do before attempting it yourself is to at least hear what the professionals have to say. You could be a phone call away from realizing that it’s best to trust a technician to do the work instead of trying it yourself.
