[Shop-talk] OT: Well Water Pressure Tanks

[Wayne]

Hey Guys,

Somewhat OT question:  anyone know much about reliability of well water 
pressure tanks?  (I depend on mine for washing up after working in the 
shop, as well as cleaning car parts in the dishwasher.)  I understand 
sizing, and that's it's all about maximizing pump cycle times and a 
bigger tank is better.

Mostly interested in anyone's experience with longevity and reliability 
of various brands.  Lowes has an absurdly cheap 86 gal tank for $332; 
but I'm very suspect of their quality.  Good brands seem to be 
Well-X-Trol (mine died at 11 years), Flexcon, and Goulds.  any input?
