Bob,

You are completely correct. Thanks for your comment. I'm having
difficulty understanding Bubba's "intelligent" comment. People like him
make ignorant people look smart.

Ernie-

I installed the new tank and turned the water back on. The system
didn't pressurize itself.
I'm going out to get some kind of pump to add the needed pressure.

What does that mean? "The system didn't pressurize itself"?

The pressure inside the tank should be identical to the water pressure.
