  • Can a Bad Tank Cause Pump Failure?

    Yes. In our experience, half of all pump failures come from a faulty well tank.

Well Tank Questions

  • What Does a Well Tank Do?

    It stores water and gives you pressure when the pump is off. As a result, the pump doesn't run every time you open a faucet.
  • Why Does Tank Size Matter?

    Fewer starts and stops mean a longer pump life. Therefore, a larger tank is better for your pump.
  • How Can I Tell My Tank Failed?

    Watch the pressure switch. If it clicks on and off too quickly, there may be a problem. Aim for almost a minute between clicks.
  • When Should I Schedule a Check-Up?

    Call if it's been over 15 years since service. You might have a faulty tank or need your air pressure adjusted.
  • How Fast Should I Replace a Bad Tank?

    As soon as possible. A bad diaphragm makes the pump run constantly. That's very harmful to your pump. For that reason, we treat a bad water tank as an emergency.
  • Which Tank Brands Do You Stock?

    We stock a large variety of Amtrol tanks. Amtrol has made well tanks since 1963.

Water Treatment Questions

  • What Does Water Treatment Do?

    It treats hard water. It also helps protect your family from bacteria, harmful chemicals, and toxins.
  • How Often Does Treatment Need Maintenance?

    Most systems need yearly maintenance. Without it, your system can slow your water pressure. We send maintenance reminders, too.
  • Do You Treat Water for Businesses?

    Yes. We sell and service all residential and commercial water treatment.
  • How Do I Get a Water Test?

    Just call us. We'll set up your water test.

Well Abandonment Questions

  • What Is Well Abandonment?

    It's the proper way to retire a well you no longer use. Pennsylvania follows state and county specifications.
  • Why Abandon an Unused Well?

    An unused, poorly maintained well can contaminate underground aquifers. Those aquifers supply our water.
  • Do You Handle the Paperwork?

    Yes. We have the equipment and licensing to abandon wells. We also complete all the necessary paperwork.
