Helped a neighbor put a pressure tank in today. He got it from the local farm store. It was a bladderless tank and it is down in his well pit. Got it all hooked up and turned on the water and the brand new tank leaked where one of the fittings was welded in. Sure would be nice if they could pressure test before we went thru all the work.

Kinda like a water heater that we put into my parents house awhile ago. We got it at Lowes with a lifetime guarantee. When we went back to Lowes with it after it started leaking, about 7 years later, we were told that if it was leaking, it's lifetime was up. Yep right the in the FINE PRINT it said when it quit functioning properly, for any reason, the waterheaters LIFETIME was over any the guarantee no longer applied.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

Dan, tell him to spend and extra dollar and get the tank with the bladder... Money well spent... Your "trapped air" will disappear over time into the water and the pump will cycle much more often... eventually burn up.

I have not installed a Bladderless tank for forty years, as noted the air entrains into the water and end up recharging them all too often or cooking pumps on short cycling. They also rust thru terribly quick with the recycled steels they use these day unless go full stainless then are back to Bladder tank expense level.
