We diagnose short-cycling, pressure swings, and waterlogged tanks, then repair or replace the tank and check the pump and pressure switch while we are at it. Correct sizing and setup mean smooth, consistent pressure throughout the home. Plenty of Hot Springs and Pearcy area homes run on wells, and David Bowen's team knows these systems inside out.
What’s included
- Repairs waterlogged and failing pressure tanks
- Installs correctly sized replacement tanks
- Fixes short-cycling and pressure fluctuations
- Checks pump and pressure switch too
- Steady, consistent pressure for well systems
Frequently asked questions
What are the signs of a bad pressure tank?
The biggest clue is the pump cycling on and off rapidly, called short-cycling, which wears out the pump. You might also notice pressure that surges and drops, sputtering faucets, or water that comes in bursts. These usually mean the tank has lost its air charge or the internal bladder has failed and needs attention.
Why does my well pump keep turning on and off?
Rapid cycling almost always points to a waterlogged pressure tank that has lost its air cushion, or a failing bladder inside it. Without that cushion, the pump kicks on far too often and wears out early. We can test the tank, recharge or replace it, and check the pressure switch to get cycling back to normal.
How long do pressure tanks last?
A quality pressure tank often lasts several years to well over a decade, depending on water conditions and how hard the system works. When one fails, replacing it promptly protects your more expensive well pump from the strain of short-cycling. We can advise whether your tank is worth servicing or due for replacement.
