A well pressure tank replacement often involves inspecting and, if necessary, replacing the associated pressure switch and pressure gauge.

Cost-Effective Well Pressure Tank Upgrades in Memphis, TN
Beyond simple replacement, BGV Plumbing also offers cost-effective well pressure tank upgrades for Memphis homeowners looking to improve their well system's efficiency and longevity.

Well-Rite Pressure Tank Installation in Memphis, TN
Well-Rite pressure tanks are a popular choice known for their reliability and durable construction, featuring heavy-duty steel shells and high-quality butyl diaphragms. At BGV Plumbing, we regularly install Well-Rite tanks as part of our well pressure tank replacement services in Memphis. These tanks are designed to provide consistent water pressure and reduce pump cycling, extending the life of your well pump. We ensure proper sizing and installation of Well-Rite tanks, adhering to manufacturer specifications for optimal performance and warranty validity.
Pressure Switch Replacement in Memphis, TN
The pressure switch tells the pump when to start and stop, typically at 30/50 or 40/60 psi. Pitted contacts, insect nests and a clogged sensing nipple are common causes of failure in well houses. We replace worn switches with Square D or similar models and clean or replace the nipple below it. A low-pressure cutoff switch can also be added to stop the pump if the well runs dry. We set the switch to suit your new tank's pre-charge.
Constant Pressure System Conversion in Memphis, TN
A constant pressure system pairs a variable speed drive like the Franklin SubDrive or Grundfos SQE with a smaller pressure tank. The pump speeds up or slows down to hold a set pressure, so showers do not fade when a sprinkler kicks on. These systems cost more, often $2,500 to $5,000, but they eliminate pressure swings. They also reduce hard starts on the motor. We explain whether your well and pump are good candidates.
Galvanized Steel Pressure Tank Upgrades in Memphis
Many older homes in Memphis still have traditional galvanized steel pressure tanks, which can corrode over time and lose their air charge. We offer professional upgrades from these older tanks to more efficient and durable bladder-style tanks. This not only improves water pressure stability but also lengthens the life of your well pump by reducing short-cycling.
Emergency Pressure Tank Replacement in Memphis, TN
A ruptured tank can leave you with no water or a pump that never shuts off, which can burn up the motor quickly. If the pump is running nonstop, turn off its breaker and call (615) 518-0893. We carry standard tank sizes and fittings for same-day replacement. Once water is restored, we test the pump's amp draw to make sure it was not damaged. Quick action can save you the cost of a new pump.
Bladder Pressure Tank Replacement in Memphis
Bladder tanks hold water inside a flexible butyl bag surrounded by pressurized air. When the bag ruptures, water fills the whole tank, there is no air cushion and the pump short cycles. A simple test is pressing the air valve on top, since water spitting out means the bladder has failed. We replace the tank, set the new pre-charge and confirm the pump runs a full cycle. Most bladder tank swaps take about two to three hours.

Frequently Asked Questions About Well Pressure Tank Replacement in Memphis
Most well pressure tank replacements cost $900 to $2,200 installed, depending on tank size and whether the switch and tank tee are replaced. Large capacity or multi-tank setups can run $2,500 or more. We give a firm price before starting.
Most pressure tank replacements take two to four hours. Adding a constant pressure system or multiple tanks can take most of a day.
A well pressure tank usually lasts between 7 to 15 years, depending on water quality, usage, and maintenance. Tanks in areas with harder water or higher demand may have a shorter lifespan. Regular inspection can help identify potential issues before complete failure.
If your switch is more than a few years old or the contacts are pitted, replacing it with the tank is inexpensive insurance. It also lets us match the switch settings to the new tank.
Both bladder and diaphragm tanks use an air cushion to pressurize water, but they differ in how the water and air are separated. Bladder tanks have a replaceable rubber bladder that holds the water, completely isolating it from the air. Diaphragm tanks use a fixed rubber diaphragm. Bladder tanks are generally preferred for their longevity and ease of maintenance.
On average, a well pressure tank can last between 5 to 10 years, though some high-quality tanks can last longer. Factors like water quality, proper initial installation, and regular maintenance can greatly impact its lifespan.
While it might seem like a DIY project, well pressure tank replacement involves working with pressurized water, electrical components, and ensuring proper sizing and calibration. It is highly recommended to hire a professional plumber to ensure safety, code compliance, and proper system function.
Regular maintenance for a well pressure tank involves checking the air pressure in the tank at least once a year, ensuring it's properly pre-charged. You should also listen for frequent pump cycling and visually inspect the tank for any signs of corrosion or leaks. We can include this check during regular well system servicing.
