Pressure Rising

Way back in late June, I think, the pressure at Diane's started fluctuating oddly. When I tried to add air to the pressure tank, it was completely waterlogged: bladder failure. I didn't get around to buying a new tank until 9 Sept., and I finally crawled under and installed it today. Fortunately, I was able to reuse all the original fittings, and I had to cut just one pipe to remove everything. Unfortunately, it was a 3/4 and I did not have a connector on hand. Fortunately, I had a 45 degree street elbow set. The new tank, in spite of my efforts to find a low profile unit, was a couple of inches taller, but it still fit quite well. No leaks and 20/50 shut-off--all's well!
