Pressure Tank Repair and Low Water Pressure

The pressure tank stores water under pressure so your pump doesn't have to start every time you open a faucet. When it fails, the pump starts and stops constantly, which wears it out faster. Hill Country Well Repair connects you with local well professionals who service pressure tanks, pressure switches, and booster pumps.

Signs of a Pressure Tank Problem

• The pump clicks on and off every few seconds while water runs (short cycling)
• Water pressure surges and drops
• The pressure gauge needle jumps quickly
• Water sputters from faucets
• The tank is leaking or rusted

What a Pro Will Check

A technician typically checks the tank's air charge, the bladder, the pressure switch settings, and the gauge. Some tanks can be recharged with air. Others, especially those with a ruptured bladder, need to be replaced. On larger homes or acreage, a booster pump or storage tank may be suggested.

What Does It Cost?

One Comal County well company, New Braunfels Water Well, lists pressure tank and booster pump systems on an existing well at about $1,200 to $3,800. A simple pressure tank swap may cost less. Get a quote for your setup.

Pressure Tank FAQ

Can a bad pressure tank damage my pump? Short cycling makes the pump start far more often than it should, which can shorten its life.

Do I need a bigger tank? Sometimes. A professional can size the tank to your pump and household.
