Pressure tank service in Sumter, SC
If your pump clicks on every time you open a tap, the pressure tank is the first thing to check.
What the pressure tank does
The pressure tank stores water under pressure so your pump doesn't have to start every time someone runs a faucet. When the tank stops working, the pump starts and stops constantly, which wears it out years early.
Signs of a pressure tank problem
- The pump clicks on and off rapidly (short cycling)
- Pressure jumps between strong and weak
- The gauge needle swings quickly
- Water leaking at the base of the tank
- The tank sounds full of water when you tap the top
Repair or replace
Sometimes the tank just needs its air charge adjusted. If the internal bladder has failed or the tank is rusted, replacement is the fix. Either way, it costs far less than replacing a pump that burned out from short cycling.
Pressure switches and gauges
The pressure switch tells the pump when to turn on and off. Burned contacts or a clogged sensing tube can leave you with no water or a pump that won't shut off. Switches and gauges are often replaced during the same visit.
