i hope the guy in the video sees these comments, if i was in your country i'd patronize this company without a doubt. In my search for info on jet pumps and pressure tanks I must have watched 5 R.C. videos, all great and super informative. fantastic work.
I discovered your channel yesterday and I've been binge watching all your videos since. I like your delivery method; clear, easy to understand and to the point. I wish I could subscribe twice.
we are maintaining 3 bar pressure in pressure adjuster tank ,maintains 3 bar cut off and 5 bar cut on in pressure switch for the pump . some times pressure going below 3 bar(pump starts on 2 bars) and making vibrations in the water line.also pressure adjuster tank air pressure increased without filling air in it. is it problem of pressure adjuster tank or the problem of pump taking air ?can you please help us.
ref. tank image - So pressurized Air on top of diaphragm which is on top of water reservoir, pushed the water out of the tank to an outlet ? So the air must push past the white metal dome?
Great videos Chris! How does the pressure tank work when you have 22lbs of constant head pressure delivered from water storage tanks (on a hill) supplying the water to the pressure pump?
hi, ref the tee.....what is your opinion on using a tee with a union? Was concerned about the union leaking over time or with multiple replaceements of the tank on the same union tee?
Hi, thanks for your interesting and informative videos. I have one question. How do you add a large water tank to well system that has very low water flow into the well from the ground? I bought a wellxtrol 302, but it only has 26 gallons of draw down water supply, and we run out of watewr almost every day. It takes about 4 hours for the well to recover. Now I am adding another well to our system. My thought being I could manually turn one well off when it drains, and turn the other one on. After it drains, go back to the first well. Alternatively, I was wondering if I could just install a huge say, 400 gallon water tank in the basement, that both wells would contribute to. I guess then install a booster pump to feed the house? What do you think? Thanks very much... Paul
Had a recent problem with a leak at the pitless adapter. Upon repairing, the system returned to proper operation, however, when I cleaned out the pump house and checked things out, I realized that there is NO water inside my pressure tank. That is really weird as my system cycles correctly. Any explanation as to how that can be?
good job! I am going to be buying the Amtrol-Well-X-Trol 32 Gallon Water System Pressure Tank with Composite Base - WX-203D on amazon Plumb Eeze by Boshart 1 x 11 Tank Tee Kit with VALVES Installation Water Well Pressure Tank 40/60 FSG2 pressure switch NO LEAD I will be using it in my van conversion.
After about eight years of having a will it now turned on every so often by itself could that be a leak of some kind whether its air pressure or water I don't see any water around the tank and the valves are off could you give me a suggestion
I am on a county water system. I have over 1500 ft of water line from my meter to my house and have very low water pressure. Would a pressure tank benefit me or would I need a combination of tank and pump?
My water system apparently does not have a pressure tank that turns the pump on and off. The submersible pump in my system delivers water to a reservoir tank and the demand for water is met by gravity feed. When the level in the tank gets to a certain level the pump will turn on or off. Can you explain the sensors for this and how to adjust them. Thanks for any information on this.
Michael, you will have to take a peek inside the tank and take pictures or make note of what you see in there. It is most likely a single float switch (but it could be a float valve or transducer) that controls the pump by a set of contacts inside of it. Once you know what you have give us a call or send the photo to us: 855.329.4519 or Customer.Service@rcworst.com
So if im understanding this setup right: as soon as the pressure on a hose or motor gets too low, the pressure pump will allow water to fill the diaphram which in turn builds up pressure in the air chamber ? Can someone correct me ?
How does water get into the tank? I assume it must be under pressure to fill the tank. Is there a pump in the tank to feed water in as well or is another pump necessary?
Nice video. Q. I need an expansion tank to accomodate liquid volume increase due to temperature changes for a closed loop cooling system. Is this tank suitable? I think both work exactly the same, however on expansion tank I won’t care about delivering continous ammounts of water. Thanks.
Good question! That nut is welded onto the tank so you can mount a jet pump on it via a pump stand. The pump bolts onto the stand and the stand bolts onto the nut.
Why do you need the diaphragm? If it empties from the bottom would simply having air under pressure in the top do the job? You might need a level sensor to turn off water flow from the tank or a valve like on a toilet to stop the air from entering the pipes if the well pump is not pumping fast enough to raise the water level while you have faucets open, but that seems simpler than the engineering of a diaphragm. Of course, I am not an engineer...
Actually, the diaphragm is a relatively new feature of pressure tanks. Air-over-water pressure tanks were the standard for many years, but they required more parts/constant maintenance because the air would leech into the water over time and need to be replaced. Diaphragm tanks eliminate the need for constant refilling of the air, which will soon make the air-over-water tanks completely obsolete.
That is called a Schrader valve, and I do not have one of those on my bicycle! IUs Presta valves on my bicycle higher end bikes will have that but the low end bikes will have the same Schrader valve that’s on your car or even your wheelbarrow. You will sound a lot more knowledgeable if you call it what it is. There are other types of air valves for inflation but I can’t recall the names and they are very obscure. Thanks for the in-depth tutorial of my bladder tank.
Hello. Just to ask: I have a pressure tank and pump assembly for home use. The factory set cut in/off pressures are 20/50 PSI, while it is indicated in the tank to maintain a 30 PSI air pressure. Is this a good setting? Please advise. Thank you R.C. Worst!
The air in your tank needs to be set 2 PSI below what your pump is turning on at. Check out our video on it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w21qa2bMUh8.html&lc=Ugxf4itooKuBaJFzvX94AaABAg
R.C. Worst & Co., Inc. What will happen to the system if that is the setting 10 psi more than the cut in pressure? Will it damage the equipment or some of parts? On my observation, it is working fine.
If the pressure is set too high then the tank will not be able to hold nearly as much water since the air pressure is pushing the bladder down harder than the pump is pushing water in. Your pump will cycle more often than it should and wear out much faster.
R.C. Worst & Co., Inc. Many thanks for the best recommendation. Will check it. So then should I keep about 18 psi air pressure if the cut in is 20 psi?
My tank works good for about 30mins, but then loses pressure and won’t pressurize again for about 30 mins. It drops to 0 psi, before filling again. Have any ideas? Thx in advance!
This is an incredibly well delivered video. Props to you man. Jesus loves you a whole lot. Turn to Him - there’s life in Him & only Him. Everything else leads to eternal hell.
