We recommend a plumber
We recommend having a plumber install it; Aidan supports your plumber by phone at 800-460-5810. If you'd rather do it yourself, text Aidan at 443-277-2204 with any questions.
A plumber typically takes 1 to 3 hours to swap a pressure tank in an open basement, about $200 to $500 in labor (our pressure tank cost guide). Crawl spaces, galvanized pipe that needs adapters, or a tank that has to come up stairs push it toward the top of that range.
What the job involves
- ✓Turning off the power to the pump and draining the old tank
- ✓Assembling the tee kit with thread sealant and threading the brass cross onto the tank's stainless connection
- ✓Connecting the line from the well pump and the line to the house
- ✓Wiring the pressure switch to the pump circuit
- ✓Checking the tank's air pre-charge with the tank empty, before the system is filled
Amtrol's own placement rules (installation manual MC10185)
- ✓Mount it vertically only
- ✓Protect it from freezing, and keep it out of direct sunlight
- ✓Do not put it where a leak could damage the floor or the rooms below; where that is a risk, Amtrol calls for a drip pan piped to a drain
- ✓Install the relief valve at the tank's connection to the system piping
- ✓Amtrol says a licensed professional should install it and check the system once a year
How long it lasts
It depends on the tank, how much water you use and how hard the tank works. In Aidan's experience, new tanks have failed within months and others have run 20 years or more. Amtrol's limited warranty is 7 years.
Checks
- ✓Amtrol says a licensed professional should check the whole system, including the tank, once a year
- ✓The air pre-charge is checked only with the tank empty and the system off
- ✓If the tank has lost its air, Amtrol says not to add air or adjust it: a loss of air can mean internal corrosion, and re-pressurizing it could make the tank rupture. That is a call for your plumber
Signs the tank is failing
- ✕Pressure that rises and falls in the shower, or a pump that starts and stops every few seconds
- ✕A dull thud when you knock on the top of the tank: water has pushed into the air chamber and the tank is waterlogged. A waterlogged tank cannot be fixed; it is replaced
Amtrol's 7-year limited warranty
- ✓Seven years from the date of purchase on Well-X-Trol residential well tanks
- ✓For the original purchaser or first user; it cannot be transferred
- ✓Covers defects in material and workmanship at the time of manufacture
- ✓Does not cover labor, shipping, removal or installation costs, property damage, freezing, shipping damage by others, or improper installation or maintenance
- ✓Every claim is approved solely by Amtrol, must be made within 30 days of the failure, and needs proof of purchase, proof of home ownership, and the model and serial number
- ✓A replacement carries the balance of the original warranty

Well Water Pressure Tank: The Complete Guide (Sizing, PSI, When to Replace)
The Well-X-Trol WX-203 and Its Tank Tee Kit
A 32 gallon Amtrol stand tank, 47 x 15 inches, with the brass tee kit that connects it
The pressure tank holds a cushion of air above a butyl diaphragm. As you run water, that air pushes water out to the house, so the well pump does not start every time a tap opens. The WX-203 holds 32 gallons and delivers 9.9 gallons between pump starts on a 30/50 switch (Amtrol's spec card). Amtrol's sizing table picks it for a pump up to 3/4 HP at about 10 gallons per minute on 30/50, or about 7 on 40/60. In Aidan's words, "the 203 is the tank we recommend for most households."
It ships with the TFP3-RV tank tee kit: the double-tapped brass cross that threads onto the tank's stainless connection, a pressure switch set at 30/50 or 40/60, a 0 to 100 PSI gauge, a relief valve, a stop and waste valve, a boiler drain and brass nipples. The kit ships unassembled. Amtrol pre-charges the tank to 38 PSI.
We recommend having a plumber install it, and Aidan supports your plumber by phone. Amtrol's 7-year limited warranty and its policy on tanks bought online are in the Warranty and Returns tab, in Amtrol's words.

I'd rather you read Amtrol's policy before you buy than find it afterward. If anything goes wrong, call or text me first and I'll tell you how the claim is handled.
"I had well water with over 20 ppm ferrous and 7 ppm of ferric iron, plus manganese and some sulfur. Local water companies rejected me, said they couldn't help. I purchased two Fleck 2.5 cu. ft. 2510AIO iron filter tanks with Katalox-Light. Problem solved."
"New house, brass fittings on my Pex were all corroding. Tested the water, acidic at 5.5. Found Mid Atlantic Water YouTube videos which were very helpful, ordered the non-back washing 2.5. Easy install, water tests great now."
"Straight forward installation. In, out, and the drain. Ran a back wash cycle then put it online and it works GREAT. Cleaned out the iron and raised the pH to 7.5. Culligan tried to sell me something twice the price."
"Three contractors and two other suppliers reviewed my well report. Quotes ranged from $5,000 to $10,000. Then I found Mid Atlantic. Aidan reviewed the report and recommended a complete system. Same equipment, fraction of the cost, and the support was real."
"Easy, bullet-proof installation. No moving parts. Raised my pH from 6.8 to a perfect 7.6. I had previously installed the same unit in my daughter's water system. Her pH was 5.2. Following Aidan's videos, both installs went smoothly."
"Super easy install. Shouldn't have to service it for approximately 24-36 months based on my water usage. Tank is solid, fittings are clean, no leaks. Exactly what was advertised."
