Why You Should Have Your Tank Repressurized Every Year by Ralph's Pump & Well

Most well owners don't realize that their pressure tank should be repressurized annually to maintain optimal water pressure and system efficiency. Regular well and water system maintenance delivers several benefits, including: 

  • Better water pressure
  • Longer pump life
  • Energy savings
  • Fewer unexpected breakdowns

How Do Pressure Tanks Work? 

A pressure tank stores water and compressed air, working together to maintain steady water pressure throughout your home. Over time, air can be lost form the tank, causing it to become waterlogged. That's why we recommend annual pressure tank maintenance.

Maintaining Peak Performance in Your Pressure Tank

During service, we fully drain the tank and restore the proper air charge using an air compressor. If a pressure tank becomes waterlogged, the pump will short-cycle, turning on and off rapidly, which can lead to pump failure. Regular maintenance ensures your tank maintains proper air pressure, prevents your pump from overworking, and ensures steady water pressure. 

This simple preventative measure protects your system, reduces wear and tear, and saves you money in the long run.
