Hi folks, as title says I am at a complete loss with this one and was hoping to get some help.
The setup:
We have a well which provides 2 houses, the water goes from the well to the pump then into (what I thought was) a pressure tank. Then out to the 2 houses. (both sides are effected)
About 2 months ago we lost most of our pressure, so much that the shower doesnt work nor does the washing machine. Now I checked the well end and all is fine up there and checked all valves etc were turned on properly. the last and probably most obvious thing left was the tank itself.
Now this thing is ancient the inlet is at the bottom and the outlet at the top (not like todays setups) but it does have a pressure gauge and switch on it.
I sent pics away to a tank company to see if they had anything suitable to replace it with but I have just got an email back saying there tech team doesnt think this is a pressure tank and cant help me.
Can anybody shine any light on this?
Tank dimensions are: (approx)
Height 31"
Circumference 59"
Radius 10.5 "

We just want to get the pressure back so we can use the shower and washing machine again. Thanks
