A pressure tank is required in a farm water system to maintain pressure in the system when the pump is not in operation. The amount of water that can be taken from the system between pump cycles is called the "draw off." Pressure tanks should be sized so that the pump will not cycle more than 25 times per hour. This set-up allows approximately 1 gallon of draw off for every 100 gal/hr pump capacity. For example, if a pump produces 600 gal/hr (10 gal/min), then the pressure tank should have a draw off of at least 6 gallons. The specification charts provided with the pressure tank will give the draw-off capacities at different pressures.

When you open a spigot in your home, you expect water to flow at a certain speed. Water pressure in the line causes that water to flow. If your home is on city utilities, water pressure is controlled (for the most part) by the city. If your home is on a well, you need something to build that pressure and this is the purpose of the pressure tank.
In a nutshell: The pressure tank in a water well system creates water pressure by using compressed air to bear down on the water. Because of this pressure, when a valve is opened water is pushed out of the tank through the pipes in your home. When the water in the pressures tank drops below the required amount, a pressure switch is activated turning on the pump. The pump then refills the pressure tank. The combination of the pressure tank, pressure switch and the pump is what allows water to flow through your home.

GWS' wide product range offers a full-line of pressure vessels for different applications. Pressure vessels in sizes from 0.16 - 10, 000 liters and in 10, 16 & 25 bar pressure ratings are available to accommodate all your requirements . Additionally, GWS offers both steel tanks and the composite line C2-Lite, enabling maximum flexibility. FlowThru tanks are also available in steel and composite. GWS now also offers the SpringTech series, a range of exclusive quality composite vessels for water treatment systems featuring the revolutionary Vortech bottom distribution technology. FEATURES : Energy Saving Solutions Substantially reduce electric power consumption by reducing small draw off pump starts, i.e., evaporative coolers, toilet flushes, leaks, drip irrigation, etc. Extend pump life by dramatically reducing wear on moving parts. Protect against heat expansion damage to pump bodies. Reduce noise from unnecessary pump starts. Eliminate motor burn outs & low flow cycling. Eliminate pump body failures due to water hammer.
