Pressure Tanks
A well-functioning pressure tank is essential to any reliable water system. At American Pump & Drilling, we provide professional installation and replacement of pressure tanks for residential, agricultural, and light commercial water systems across Eastern Idaho, Western Wyoming, and Southern Montana.
Pressure tanks help regulate water pressure, minimize pump cycling, and protect the pump motor from premature wear. Whether you’re building a new system or replacing an aging or failing tank, our team can help size and install the right tank for your application—ensuring dependable water pressure and system longevity.
We typically install Well-X-Trol and Flexcon pressure tanks, both of which are known for their durability, quality construction, and long service life. Our team is trained to integrate these tanks with a variety of system configurations, including submersible pumps, pressure switches, and VFD-controlled constant pressure setups.
If your well pump is turning on and off frequently—known as short cycling—this is often a sign of a failing or waterlogged pressure tank. Left unaddressed, short cycling can lead to premature pump failure and increased wear on electrical components.
We offer both traditional diaphragm/bladder-style tanks and modern systems that pair with Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to create compact, high-performance constant pressure systems. All work is performed by our experienced technicians, with minimal outsourcing—if any.
Signs You May Need a New Pressure Tank:
- Well pump is cycling on and off frequently
