Pressurized Potable Water Storage Tanks

Item 424503 model ht119b.

Pressurized potable water storage tanks. The tank s steel shell supports the water weight to ensure water never sits in loose fitting vinyl or rubber bags that can fold crease and wear. Disconnect the yellow line from the tank valve. Older types of pressure tanks include galvanized steel tanks and galvanized steel tanks with a floating wafer. Today pressure tanks with a diaphragm or a rubber bladder are common.

There are different types of pressure tanks. Pressurized well tank the water worker 32 gal. Use air compressor or bicycle pump to re pressurize the 4 gallon tank to 5 psi and 7psi for the 14 gallon tank. As technology progresses the design and components of well systems become much more efficient and sustainable.

T hroughout history humans have relied on water wells as a primary means of accessing potable water. The system also combines a low pressure cut off switch and thermal sensor to prevent run on burn out conditions caused by water main pressure loss ensuring simple safe and efficient operation and system life longevity. Use an air pressure gauge to check the current air pressure. Locate the pressure valve under the blue cap on the tank.

Close the tank s ball valve. Up until 1970 the most common type of pressure tank used with a private water system was a galvanized steel tank. The water worker 32 gal. Water worker 119 gallon vertical pressure tank.
