Well Pressure Tanks in New Hampshire

Pressure tanks, pressure switches, and well pumps work together to create well pump systems. 

Modern pressure tanks have a bladder that comes pre-charged with pressurized air above the bladder. These new generation pressure tanks are generally 66% air and 33% water when full. Water will fill up under the bladder and compresses the air above the bladder until it reaches 60psi. Once 60psi is reached, the pressure switch will turn the power off to the pump. (Switches typically turn the pump on at 40psi and off at 60psi.) When water is in use on the property, the compressed air will push down on the bladder and push the water to the household plumbing supply, until the pressure switch reactivates. This cycle will continue many times a day, year after year, until one of the components fails. 

Pressure tanks come in various sizes ranging, from 20 gallons to 119 gallons. Although most residential properties typically utilize sizes of 20-44 gallons, bigger pressure tanks allow for the well-pump to do less work, ensuring the pumps last longer. 

When McBride’s Water Advantage is called to troubleshoot for a low or no water situation, we will inspect pressure tanks and test well pumps to review the state of your well pump system. This will allow us to ensure we are getting a complete picture of the system and offer the best solution for your problem. We also provide inspections of well pump equipment during regularly scheduled service calls upon request. Click the button below for a demonstration of how a pressure tank works.

Always a pleasure when McBride comes for my annual service on my water treatment. They actually have gone above and beyond to get my system 100% in the past, even though they are not the original installers. I do not hesitate to give out their name when people ask me who I use!

McBride just did the yearly service on my water softener and in line water filter. The tech did a great job. Showed want the service entailed. Was very thorough. And more importantly answered all my questions…. this is a must service. Everyone should have a basis to maintain your system working in optimal order.. Very friendly Tech Excellent company. Update 4/29/26 Jared came out to give me an estimate on a job as I had some major concerns on my end. (He was here for a good while ) He was extremely informative extremely patient and told me exactly what I needed to do. Did not try to sell me anything did not try to push me to do anything I didn’t need to do. This company is extremely honest. I’ve dealt with many companies in the past. I called them for a follow up question regarding my well water pump, and Jared explained everything I needed to know and there was no charge. I can tell you from experience another company would’ve charged for the service call. If you need anything done related to your well water or your water coming into your house, etc. this is the company to deal with. Thank you, Jared.

We have had a water softener from McBride for a decade or more. We have it serviced regularly and the team that shows up is always very helpful. Thank you this time to Brian and Izaiah for re-routing our backwash pipe to work with our new sump pump !!! They offered us various options to choose from to best suit our needs !!

We've had McBride Water Advantage for both of our homes. No problems at all. Good company and really nice service people. We just had our filtration system serviced 4/28/25. The man the sent to clean and check on our system was awesome. I've never had any complaints about the company. It's 4/09/26. Just had them here servicing and cleaning our filtration system again. It's been a year since their last service. The gentleman that came today was great. They hire such smart people. When he was done servicing my system, I had a few questions for him and he took out his little kit and tested my water to try to solve the issue I had. We have a well and the system I have works great for the well issues. But I had a build up in my glass teapot that was bothering me. I showed it to him, he did a little testing on my kitchen water spout and found the issue. The water from the filtration system is very good water. But I have an additional problem that can be taken care of but doesn't need to. It won't hurt us in our drinking water. But I need a softener to get rid of that buildup. In my teapot I was given an estimate along with the bill for services today. Not sure if we'll go with it or not but it's good to know what's going on. A heck of a nice guy and very thorough. I like McBride water advantage. They've always done well for us.
