Bladder tanks are useful additions to properties with wells.
When a property relies on a well for fresh, clean water, the system typically also includes a pump that moves the water from one place to another. On a residential or commercial property, the pump might move the water into the home or business, where it can flow through the plumbing system. When you rely on a well for irrigation, the pump ensures the water can reach the crops or landscaping elements and keep them healthy and thriving.
Depending on the setup and property layout, your well may also need a bladder tank. Bladder tanks are pressurized storage containers that contain flexible internal bags. The purpose of this design is to maintain consistency in the water pressure and prevent the well pump from having to turn on and off as frequently. A heavy-duty rubber bladder is stored inside a rigid shell. Water remains inside the bladder, while air surrounds it in the outer chamber. As the pump runs, it moves water into the bladder, which expands and compresses the air around it.
When you turn on a faucet, the compressed air pushes against the bladder, moving the water through the plumbing system without relying on the pump right away.
