First call, longtime listener.



I'm changing out the water pressure tank, but I don't have a shut off

valve from tank to well to drain the tank. If I turn off the breaker to

the well pump, will this effectively shut off the water so I can drain

the

tank and replace it? Help much appreciated.

Yes, and while you are chaning it out, you should install that missing

shut-off valve.

I have never seen a well pump with a valve (other than a check valve) on

its

outlet to the pressure tank.



And I've never seen one without it. Every appliance using/supplying water

should have one for just such a reason. It recently cost me $120 to have a

shut-off installed on the well line entering the house where I forgot to

specify it when the well was drilled. That was an unusual situation though.

I had a leak and needed to shut that line off to isolate it.

I thought we were talking about a valve between the well and the pressure

tank.
