To maximize the performance and efficiency of your well system, having the right well water storage tank is important. Learn the benefits of a water storage tank and find out how to choose the proper well tank in horizontal or vertical options for your system from the helpful team at Ace!

Why Use a Water Storage Tank

Well systems need a well tank to store water and prevent the well pump from turning on and off each time the faucet is used. A pump tank usually comes in the form of a basic container called an “air-over-water tank”. It can also be referred to as a pressure tank for more modern applications. Smaller pressure tank models can often hold the same amount of water as larger air-over-water tanks.

How Does a Pressure Well Tank Work?

Since they're constructed with a vinyl bladder that contains water with pressurized air around the tank, pressure tanks are commonly referred to as bladder tanks or pre-charged tanks. A check valve prevents water from leaking out of the bladder until a faucet is opened inside the house. Pressurized air then forces the water to disperse throughout the pipes.

Although water goes both in and out of the tank, pressurized pump tanks are designed with a single pipe that connects to the tank. Once water inside the pressurized well tank drops below a certain level, a pressure switch is activated, turning on the pump. The pump then refills the tank, allowing plenty of water to flow through your home on an ongoing basis.

Horizontal vs Vertical Pressure Well Tank

Choosing between a horizontal and a vertical pressure well tank may depend on a few factors specific to your circumstances. Vertical well tanks tend to be more stable and have better pressure distribution, and they take up less space on the ground with their vertical design. However, a horizontal well tank may suit your needs better if your tank is exposed to the elements or you need to install it in an area with limited vertical space.

Well Water Tank Sizing Tips

A well water tank that's too small could cause your pump to cycle on and off too frequently, while one that's too large could cause the water to stagnate, resulting in an odd smell or taste. To have constant water pressure throughout the entire house, choosing an appropriately sized pump tank for your well is important.

Since a well holding tank is designed to preserve the lifespan of your water pump, you must have a tank that's large enough to store the water your household requires. When purchasing a new well holding tank, make sure you evaluate how many people are in your household and how much water your household uses regularly.
