Well Bladder Tanks: Essential Storage For Submersible Well Pumps
A well bladder tank is a type of pressure tank used in conjunction with a submersible well pump. It stores water under pressure, providing a reserve of water for the home and reducing the frequency of pump cycling. The tank is typically installed in the basement or utility room and is connected to the well pump’s discharge line. The water pressure in the tank is maintained by an air bladder inside the tank, which expands and contracts as water is added or removed.
