re: Anyone have experience with well water tanks?

The well was existing on the land we bought when I built the house. The pump I installed is a shallow well Red Lion RJS100 1 hp pump at 24gpm. The old pump gave up the ghost about a yr ago. I have it wired in 220. The casing out of the ground is PVC and IIRC is 2.5 in or 3...pretty sure not 4 but I could be wrong. I ran the main line to the house (about 100 ft) in 1.25 and then when I got inside the wall cavity I went down to 3/4 trunk lines and then 1/2 to each individual fixture.
I talked to the man that drilled the well and he said its about 20yrs old.
Hope this helps...thanks for responding

Ok, that's a venturi pump.
This is an important clue. But before I open my mouth, does your tank have an internal bladder or is it just a plain galvanized tank without a bladder? Is it blue or just galvanized metal?
Can you get me a make/model? (if it has one). I suspect this will tell the tale on your pressure issue.

you can be in the middle of a shower and as soon as the tank empties and the pump cuts on your water press drops to nil.
