This well tank has been designed to store and deliver
water under pressure between pump cycles in a domestic
water system. It features a patented Controlled Action
Diaphragm (CAD2) system that completely contains the system
water in a safe NSF approved chamber. The CAD2 system
prevents water from ever touching the internal walls of the
tank which greatly reduces external condensation. Each tank is
finished with a two coat appliance quality paint finish to minimize
external corrosion.

Without a storage tank, a domestic water system's pump
would cycle (turn on) every time there was a demand
for water. This frequent and potentially short cycling
would shorten the useful life of the pump. Well tanks are
designed to store water when the pump is running and then
deliver pressurized water back to the system when the pump is
shut off. A properly sized well tank will store at least one gallon
of water for every gallon per minute (GPM) of pump capacity. This
allows for fewer pump starts and longer run times which should
maximize the life of the pump.
