What Is a Wellmate

The WellMate WM-6 is a corrosion-proof well pressure tank that is made with a composite of continuous fiberglass strands sealed with high-grade epoxy resin. They won’t rust, dent, or come apart at the seams, and a rugged impact proof base is included.

How does a WellMate pressure tank work?

How does a well pressure tank work? A well pressure tank uses compressed air to push pressurized water out of the tank and into your home. Pressure tanks have a diaphragm, also called a bladder, that separates a chamber of air from the water. As the tank fills with water, it compresses the air chamber.

How do you charge a WellMate pressure tank?

  1. Turn off power to pump.
  2. By-pass all water filtering equipment.
  3. Open faucet on laundry tub or other faucet that does not have a screen.
  4. Continue running water until pressure drops to 0.
  5. Leave faucet open; begin pumping air into tank with compressor.
