If you have a water well, there are many moving parts and add-ons you can install to make your system more efficient and the experience more enjoyable. A well water storage system is one of these additional assets that can provide several benefits to your well and your home. Below is a brief guide to what water storage tanks are and how they can improve your system. 

What Is It?

A well water storage system consists of a storage tank installed in your water system that stores water for use whenever you need it. Storage tanks are available in varying sizes and designs, so you can find one that fits your well system. They fill up with clean water until they’re full, and they replenish when it gets below a certain level, ensuring you always have water ready. The water you use when you flush the toilet or turn on the sink will come directly from the tank. 

There are two types of tanks, atmospheric and pressurized. Pressurized tanks will likely be the one you use for residential purposes, as it pressurizes the water in the tank for optimal water pressure. Atmospheric tanks require the installation of another pump to move the water from the tank to the outlet, like a tap or appliance.

Why Do I Need It?

A storage tank benefits your water system in a few different ways. First, it helps lengthen your well pump’s lifespan and limits the chance of pump repair needs because it doesn’t have to kick on every time you turn a tap on. This also saves money on your utility bills, as the pump will draw less power. Second, it heightens your experience because pressurized tanks make sure you always have consistent, immediate water pressure, which is one area that well systems often fall short in, causing low-pressure showers and less effective appliances. A storage tank also means that you’ll have a reservoir of clean, drinkable water to use in the event that your pump malfunctions or needs maintenance, as long as the tank hasn’t been contaminated.
