Modern well tanks come equipped with a rubber bladder. The bladder is designed for a specific air charge. Without a proper charge, the bladder will invert, stretch and, possibly, tear. Once it tears, the tank becomes water logged and the pump begins to cycle, running and shutting off repeatedly until it wears out prematurely. If your well tank has this problem, you’ll notice the water pressure surging – flow fluctuating between weak and strong. At McHenry Water, Well & Pump inspection will ensure your tank bladder has an appropriate charge.

While checking the charge in your tank, your water, well and pump specialists will ensure that your system has proper pressure. If not, we will outline the best possible remedies.
