So you don't even know what a "pressure tank", used in a well system is ?
Why don't you look it up and then come back to us...


(what a maroon)...


Well, I always thought that in order for a pressure tank to work, there had
to be some room for the pressure....


Well, I've been on the sidelines but I read the original suggestion to
use a pressure tank as exactly that--a charged pressure tank free from
the piping system. One would _presume_ he intended charging the water
side, yes, leaving the air side alone...

I would also tend to presume that's why the suggestion of it might work
better than the simple tank charge used in the posting to which he
responded.

OBTW, the (what a maroon) comes from one of the old, old cartoons--I
forget which character/strip now, but that's the reference...
