Questions & Answers

There is a Flexlite FL17 in my possession. Do you think replacing it with this tank will take a lot of work?

There is no way to know. With this tank's quick clip you can pull it up and out, remove the tank, and put in a new one in five minutes or less. You will see both sides of this tank if you don't have a quick clip.

The tank must be fitted with a pressure gauge, is that so?

My opinion is that not on the tank directly, but on the line that leads to and from the tank will be beneficial.

When a tank is inflated to 30 psi, how many gallons does it hold? What are the pros and cons of bladder replacement? (Asked previously. What if one seller is in agreement and the other is in disagreement?

It is possible to replace the bladder. The bladder pressure at 30 psi results in a tank capacity of 0 gallons per minute. When the bladder pressure is set at 30 psi, the tank will hold approximately 14 gallons at 60 pounds per square inch. Are you understanding what I'm saying?

Can this be replaced when the rubber bladder wears out?

It is not possible to replace the bladder. I'm Bryan I'm

I am satisfied

4/5

We received the order very fast and it arrived in the condition described. The box where the pressure tank arrives was very sturdy so no damage to the tank occurred during shipment. This 47 gallon water heater is perfect for families with two children The number of people is four. Because my old tank rusted (I live less than 150 feet away from the ocean), I replaced it with this fiberglass tank, which won't rust like the previous one did. The previous tank was also smaller and the pump was often turning off and on. Despite the 47 gallons' bigger size, the pump runs less frequently but longer because it is bigger. This is better when you have to go for a bathroom break in the middle of the night and nobody wants to hear you! The black plastic stand seems to be a bit weak, which is a bit dissapointing. The "STA-48" is a good combination with it -Rite Standard Non-Dairy A 3 HP shallow well jet pump is installed in the tank at a 40 PSI pressure. The input/output of the pump is a 1/4 inch male NPT. I would recommend it.

Never make a purchase unless you absolutely need it! Look around for the best deals all the time! Overall, I am happy with the product and think it's a good deal, and installation went smoothly

4/5

It is only the fact that I could have purchased this identical item on e-commerce that catches my attention Since I bought it on eBay for approximately $60 less, the only reason I didn't send it back was that I needed it now, so I wouldn't return it.

Depending on how good your tank comes out of the box, this is a good tank

There is a leak in the bottom of the tank in a new You're going to have to check your local parts store for replacements It is not possible to buy wellmate products directly from Furthermore, vendors do not carry a single part - you cannot even get a replacement one- Those rings are.

5/5

A Wellmate tank that I installed when I built the house 20 years ago was replaced by this one. On that one, the bladder had gone bad and couldn't be replaced as easily as the bladder on this one.

My choice of the large tank was a good one

5/5

A capacity greater than double that of the old 19 gallon tank it replaced. It does not need to cycle as much when pumping deep wells In the neighborhood of half. It keeps the pressure for a longer period of time, making it perfect for taking showers.

Despite its size, it is a very nice fiberglass As the owner of a 20 gallon metal pressure tank, I wanted to find something fiberglass and a little bit larger! This will be managed by the This was the perfect size and it worked as it should

4/5

I just wish the price was a little lower. The free shipping was a nice touch, as I ordered it on a Monday and received it on a Friday.

Thanks for the prompt delivery of the tank

5/5

I was amazed at the speed. Our booster system's water pressure is low, so our rural water does not have a pressure tank.
