The pressure tank is the buffer between your pump and your plumbing. In a Windham home, a failing tank shows up as pressure that swings, a pump that cycles all day or a pump that wears out years before it should.
Well Pressure Tanks for Windham homes
Windham is a Rockingham County town in southern New Hampshire, mostly residential, with wooded neighborhoods, farmland and a growing commuter population. Southern New Hampshire bedrock makes arsenic, uranium and radon realistic questions for drilled wells.
Salem, Derry, Pelham and Hudson border the town, so service trips connect with a wider commuter corridor. A buyer should confirm well depth, pump age, pressure tank condition and whether any treatment system is already in place.
What we see in Rockingham County wells
Inland homes in Rockingham County often have tanks that were installed with the original pump and never checked since. In Windham, a tank that has done twenty years of service has often lost its charge or its bladder, and replacement is straightforward.
What we check first in Windham
- Pressure at cut-in and cut-out, against the switch settings
- The relief valve, which should not weep or stick
- A water sample, if the system has been opened
How it works
How we handle well pressure tanks, step by step
- 1
Check the precharge
We shut off the pump, drain the tank and measure the air pressure with a gauge. A reading well below the pump's cut-in setting is a common and fixable problem.
- 2
Diagnose the system
If the tank checks out, we look at the check valve, the piping and the pump. The tank is only one part of the system, and we make sure we fix the real problem.
- 3
Replace or adjust
Where a recharge is enough, we do it and set the pressure correctly. Where the tank has failed, we replace it with a properly sized unit and new fittings.
- 4
Set the pressure
A year later is a good time to check again. We suggest a simple annual precharge check for Windham homes, and we are happy to do it.
What shapes the job in Windham
Precharge should be set about two pounds below the pump's cut-in pressure, and it drifts down over time. A quick check with a gauge, with the tank empty, tells us whether a simple recharge is all your Windham system needs.
Signs of a failing pressure tank
- A pump that turns on and off every few seconds
- Water coming from the tank's air valve
- A gauge that bounces rapidly
- A house that has grown but kept the original tank
