Your pressure tank stores water under pressure so your pump doesn't run every time you open a tap. When it fails, the pump cycles too often and wears out fast, so a bad tank is worth fixing quickly.
Signs your pressure tank has failed
- Short-cycling: the pump clicks on and off every few seconds
- Pulsing or fluctuating water pressure
- The whole tank feels heavy and waterlogged when tapped
- A higher electric bill from the pump running constantly
Why replace it fast
Short-cycling is the #1 killer of well pumps. A $400-$1,200 tank replacement often prevents a far more expensive submersible pump replacement.
