All tanks are completely lead free for safety. 5 year warranty. Blue tank.

From the Manufacturer

The WaterWorker pre-charged tanks utilize a butyl composite diaphragm, which flexes up and down based on water level and air pressure, as the pump fills the tank with water the air above the diaphragm is compressed, increasing the pressure in the tank until the pump cut-off pressure is reached. When water is drawn from the tank, the pressure inside the tank decreases until the pressure switch starts the pump. The amount of usable water for every pump cycles is called drawdown. The greater drawn-down capacity you select, the less your pump cycles saving energy, money, and extending your pump life. Advantages over galvanized well tanks: Pre-charged tanks do not have water-logging problems like the galvanized tanks. The air and water are totally separated using a diaphragm. No external air controls needed. Pre-charged tanks have a much larger draw-down for the same physical size. Larger draw down reduces pump cycles and pump wear, i.e. at 30/50 PSIG range three times the draw-down for pre-charged tanks of the same physical size. Pre-charged Tanks completely empty during each pump cycle. Pre-charged Tanks are much smaller and easier to handle that galvanized well tanks. Pre-charged tanks with a 30/50 Pressure Switch would be one-third the size of a galvanized tank with the same drawdown. Deep Well Jet Pumps could use either a vertical tank or a horizontal tank, depending on space requirements and sizing. Submersible Pump applications would usually use vertical tanks, again based on proper sizing. Shallow Well Jet Pumps could use vertical or horizontal tanks, based on proper sizing. The rule of thumb in sizing is to count the number of fixtures in the home, i.e. sinks, showers, toilets, dishwasher, faucets, washing machines, outside faucets, etc. and multiply it by 3. Example: a house with 11 fixtures x 3 would be 33-Gallon tank. We would suggest our 44-Gallon tank, which is the next larger sized tank.

If you have smelly hot water this rod is for you!! The zinc in this anode rod is designed to combat odor that comes from your hot water tank. Often times when well water is used H2S builds up causing a rotten egg smell to come from your hot water. Zinc counteracts this natural process and eliminates unwanted odor. This is the Hex Plug model of the Blue Lightning Aluminum Flexible Anode Rod. This model has a length of 42 inches, a diameter of .75 inches, and 3/4-14 NPT thread size (This sizing is standard for all modern residential water heaters). The rod is broken down into four separate segments. Each segment is Aluminum / Zinc alloy on a steel rod core. The segments are attached via copper or stainless steel couplers and 301 stainless steel braided wire. All of our Anode Rods are lead-free! In most cases, we recommend our Magnesium version of the Blue Lightning Rod but sometimes magnesium can have a hard time standing up to harsher water conditions. Aluminum is best to use when you know your water is hard and you have experienced rapid deterioration of your previous anode rod. Aluminum rods are also best to use if you use a water softener. The Blue Lightning Aluminum/ Zinc Anode Rod should be checked on an annual basis and in most cases replaced every other year depending on the rate of deterioration. ***NOTE*** Always flush and clean your tank before installing the new rod to kill off and eliminate old bacteria build up. Doing so will significantly improve the performance of the rod and improves the overall effectiveness of your preventative maintenance. If this rod does not eliminate your odor than you may have more serious issues than an anode rod can remedy. If your water quality issues persist after thoroughly sanitizing your tank and replacing your anode rod we recommended contacting your local plumbing professional.

The well-x-trolley WX-302 Pressure tank floor stand model is specifically designed for larger homes and institutions such as country clubs farms nursing homes etc. This handles The demands of larger systems in a minimum of space. Exclusive butyl diaphragm along with the 100% corrosion resistant virgin polypropylene liner are secured by a positive hoop ring seal for added strength and reliability. This totally integrated system outperforms other types of water chamber designs. The stainless steel air valve is welded rather than threaded to prevent loss of air pressure. The finest quality custom Mill steel is used in the deep drawn dome for extra strength while keeping tank weight to a minimum. Note: all tanks are pre-pressurized at 38 PSI and should always be set 2 PSI below the cut in of your pressure switch. It is recommended to check tank pressure before installation. Pressure switch settings should not exceed a 20 psi differential between cut in and cut out. Installation operation and maintenance for well-x-trolley tanks PDF 1Mb

The Well-X-Troll WX-350 Professional Stand is specifically designed for larger homes and institutions such as country clubs, farms, nursing homes, etc. This handles the demands of larger systems in a minimum of space. Exclusive butyl diaphragm along with the 100 percent corrosion resistant virgin polypropylene liner are secured by a positive hoop ring seal for added strength and reliability. This totally integrated system outperforms other types of water chamber designs. The stainless steel air valve is welded rather than threaded to prevent loss of air pressure. The finest quality custom mill steel is used in the deep drawn dome for extra strength while keeping tank weight to a minimum. Amtrak invented the first pre-pressurized well tank over 50 years ago. This revolutionary product featured an innovative design using a hoop ring and groove to lock the diaphragm, liner and shell together in a totally unique way. This tradition of innovation continued with Amtrak’s Next Generation Well-X-Troll, which utilized high strength steel to deliver 150 psi working pressure – 20 percent higher than competitive well tanks. Note:  all tanks are pre-pressurized at 38 psi and should always be set 2 psi below the cut in of your pressure switch. It is recommended to check tank pressure before installation. Pressure switch settings should not exceed a 20 psi differential between cut in and cut out.
