About Flexcon Industries
Flexcon Industries builds Well-Rite and Jet-Rite 2 tanks in Randolph, Massachusetts. The plant is ISO 9001 certified, and both tank lines carry NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 certification for drinking water contact through the Water Quality Association. Every tank is pressure, weld and helium tested.
Why Choose Flexcon Pressure Tanks
Advanced CAD-2 Diaphragm Technology
Flexcon's patented CAD-2 diaphragm technology keeps air and water separated, reducing pump cycling and extending system life. This technology ensures consistent pressure delivery while minimizing maintenance requirements.
Durable Steel Construction
Built with 16-gauge steel and a corrosion-resistant urethane paint finish, Flexcon tanks withstand harsh environments. The robust construction includes stainless steel connections and antimicrobial copolymer chambers for enhanced durability.
NSF 61 and 372 Certified Safety
Well-Rite and Jet-Rite 2 tanks meet NSF 61 and 372 standards for safe potable water use. The certification covers drinking water contact in residential, agricultural, and commercial applications.
Pre-Charged for Easy Installation
Well-Rite tanks are factory pre-charged to 38 PSI and Jet-Rite 2 tanks to 28 PSI; set the pre-charge 2 PSI below the pump's cut-in pressure at install. This feature reduces installation time and complexity for contractors and DIY installers.
Well-Rite Pressure Tank Sizes and Drawdown
Size a Well-Rite pressure tank by drawdown, the water it delivers between pump starts, not by total volume. A pump should run at least one minute per cycle, so the drawdown in gallons must match the pump's flow in GPM. Flexcon's figures at a 30/50 PSI switch:
| Model | Tank volume | Drawdown at 30/50 | Connection | Pump flow it covers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WR-60R | 20 gal | 6.8 gal | 1" | Up to 6 GPM: cottages and small homes |
| WR-120R | 33.4 gal | 11.3 gal | 1" | Up to 11 GPM: most 1/2 HP residential wells |
| WR-140R | 44 gal | 15.0 gal | 1-1/4" | Up to 15 GPM: larger homes |
| WR-240R | 81 gal | 27.6 gal | 1-1/4" | Up to 27 GPM: 1 to 1.5 HP pumps, farms |
| WR-360R | 119 gal | 40.6 gal | 1-1/4" | Up to 40 GPM: livestock waterers, light commercial supply |
Go up one size when a softener or iron filter backwashes on the same system. The WR-80R, WR-200R and WR-260R fill the gaps between these sizes; each product page carries Flexcon's full drawdown table.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I size a Flexcon pressure tank for my system?
Match the tank's drawdown to the pump's flow rate so the pump runs at least one minute per cycle. At a 30/50 switch, the WR-120R gives 11.3 gallons of drawdown, enough for a 10 GPM pump; see the sizing section above for every size.
2. Can Flexcon tanks work with existing pump systems?
Yes, Flexcon tanks integrate with most pump systems. The pre-charge and standard connections ensure compatibility with existing installations.
3. What maintenance do Flexcon pressure tanks require?
Flexcon tanks require minimal maintenance. Check air pressure annually and inspect connections periodically. The diaphragm keeps air and water separated, so the tank does not waterlog the way a plain steel tank does.
4. Are Flexcon tanks suitable for potable water?
Yes. Well-Rite and Jet-Rite 2 tanks are certified to NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 for drinking water contact.
5. How long do Flexcon pressure tanks last?
Flexcon backs Well-Rite and Jet-Rite 2 tanks with a five-year warranty. Service life beyond that depends on keeping the pre-charge 2 PSI below cut-in, which is the one check the tank needs each year.
