Product Information

Full details

The VEVOR Vertical Well Pressure Tank (ET-80LV) is designed for homeowners, farmers, and irrigation managers who need to maintain stable, consistent water pressure in their supply systems. By storing water under pressure, it effectively reduces the wear on your pump by minimizing frequent start-stop cycles, thereby extending equipment lifespan. While it offers robust carbon steel construction and a generous 20-gallon capacity, users should note that the unit requires a professional understanding of plumbing pressure systems to ensure correct installation and pre-charge maintenance.

FAQs

What is the pre-charge pressure of this tank?

The tank comes factory pre-charged at 29 PSI (2 BAR).

Can this tank be installed outdoors?

While durable, it is recommended to install the tank in a sheltered, dry environment to protect it from extreme weather and direct sunlight.

What is the maximum temperature this tank can handle?

The tank is designed to handle water temperatures up to 194℉ (90℃).

How often should I check the pressure?

It is recommended to check the pre-charge pressure every six months to ensure the system is operating efficiently.

Is the connection compatible with standard 1-inch plumbing?

Yes, the tank features a 1-inch BSPT connector, which is standard for most residential and agricultural pump plumbing.

Troubleshooting

Rapid cycling of the pump

Check the air pre-charge pressure. If the tank is 'waterlogged,' it has lost its air cushion and needs to be drained and re-pressurized.

Leaking at the pipe connection

Shut off the pump and drain the tank, then inspect the 1-inch BSPT fitting and re-apply thread seal tape.

Water pressure is lower than expected

Verify that your pump cut-in/cut-out settings match the pressure tank's pre-charge level.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust 1.2mm carbon steel build quality
  • Reduces pump wear by lowering cycle frequency
  • Space-saving vertical orientation
  • High thermal tolerance up to 194℉
  • Standardized 1-inch connection for easy integration

Cons

  • Requires manual monitoring of pre-charge pressure
  • Heavy unit requires stable, level mounting surface
  • Limited to specific PSI operating range

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed in a dry, frost-free location to prevent exterior corrosion. Ensure the tank is placed on a solid, level concrete pad or mounting bracket, as the weight of the water-filled tank is substantial. Before connecting the 1-inch BSPT fitting, use appropriate thread seal tape to ensure a vacuum-tight connection. It is essential to check the tank's air pre-charge pressure at least twice a year using a standard tire pressure gauge; the pre-charge should generally be set to 2 PSI below the pump cut-in pressure for optimal efficiency. Avoid exceeding the maximum 87 PSI rating, as this can compromise the internal bladder. If the tank will be unused for extended periods, drain it fully to prevent stagnation.
