What Water Tank Services Does Legacy Water Well Provide?

Legacy Water Well provides complete water tank services for North Texas well owners — from pressure tank replacement to large-capacity storage systems for ranches and rural properties. Your tank is just as important as your pump. A failing pressure tank is the number one cause of premature pump failure, and an undersized storage system limits what your property can do.

Our water tank services include:

  • Pressure Tanks — The most critical component in your well system after the pump itself. We install, repair, and replace bladder-style pressure tanks from 20 to 119 gallons.
  • Tank Installation — New pressure tank installation, storage tank setup, and complete system design for new wells and upgrades.
  • Tank Repair — Waterlogged tanks, leaking fittings, corroded connections, and pressure switch issues.
  • Tank Maintenance — Annual inspections, pre-charge checks, and preventive service that extends tank and pump life.
  • Storage Tank Systems — Large-capacity tanks from 500 to 10,000 gallons for ranches, livestock operations, and properties with low-yield wells.

Why Your Water Tank Matters More Than You Think

Most well owners do not think about their tank until something goes wrong. But the pressure tank is the heart of your water system — it maintains pressure between pump cycles, reduces pump wear, and provides a reserve of pressurized water so the pump does not have to run every time you turn on a faucet.

When the tank fails, the pump suffers. A waterlogged pressure tank forces the pump to cycle on and off rapidly (short-cycling), which overheats the motor, wears the pressure switch contacts, and can cut a pump's lifespan in half. We see this constantly on service calls — a $400 tank replacement would have prevented a $3,000 pump replacement.

On the storage side, North Texas properties with low-yield wells, livestock, or multiple buildings often need more capacity than a standard pressure tank provides. A properly designed storage tank system paired with a booster pump solves water availability problems without drilling a new well.

FAQ

Water Tank FAQs

How long does a well pressure tank last?
A quality bladder-style pressure tank lasts 8–12 years on average. Water quality, pressure settings, and whether the pre-charge is maintained all affect lifespan. Tanks in areas with acidic or high-mineral water may fail sooner.
How do I know if my pressure tank is bad?
The most common sign is rapid pump cycling — the pump kicks on and off every few seconds when water is running. Other signs include the tank feeling heavy and full of water (even at the top), visible corrosion, or water spitting from the air valve.
What size pressure tank do I need?
Tank size depends on your pump output and household demand. A general rule: a 1/2 HP pump pairs well with a 30–50 gallon tank. A 1 HP pump needs a 50–85 gallon tank. We size based on your specific system to optimize pump cycle times.
Do you install large water storage tanks?
Yes. We install polyethylene and fiberglass storage tanks from 500 to 10,000 gallons for ranches, rural properties, and commercial operations. These are paired with booster pumps to maintain consistent pressure.
How often should I have my pressure tank checked?
We recommend an annual check of the air pre-charge and a visual inspection of the tank and fittings. This takes about 15 minutes and can prevent premature pump failure. Most homeowners skip this and regret it when the pump burns out.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my pressure tank needs to be replaced?
Signs of a failing pressure tank include: the pump cycling on and off rapidly (short cycling), waterlogged tank (no air cushion), fluctuating water pressure, or a visible bulge or rust on the tank. A waterlogged tank makes your pump work much harder and significantly shortens pump life.
How long do well pressure tanks last?
Standard bladder-type pressure tanks last 5–10 years. Higher-quality tanks with heavy-duty bladders can last 15–20 years. Water quality, pressure settings, and how often the pump cycles all affect lifespan. Regular inspection helps catch issues early.
What is a waterlogged pressure tank?
A waterlogged pressure tank is one where the air bladder has failed, leaving no air cushion to maintain system pressure. Without the air charge, the pump must run every time you open a faucet — this causes rapid short cycling that burns out the pump motor prematurely.
What size pressure tank do I need?
Tank sizing depends on your pump flow rate (GPM) and how many people are in your household. Undersized tanks cause excessive pump cycling; oversized tanks waste space and money. We size your tank correctly to match your pump and demand.
How much does pressure tank replacement cost?
In North Texas, pressure tank replacement typically runs $400–$900 installed, depending on tank size and location. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work.
