About Flotec Pumps

Flotec is a leading manufacturer of water handling equipment known for producing reliable, high-performance pumps used in homes, job sites, and commercial facilities. Flotec pump systems are engineered for long service life, efficient operation, and dependable performance in demanding conditions.

From basement drainage to sewage handling and water pressure boosting, Flotec pumps are designed to solve real-world water movement challenges with proven reliability.

Flotec Pressure Tank Systems

Flotec pressure tank systems deliver consistent household water pressure, protect pumps from short-cycling damage, and extend the service life of well pump motors by reducing the number of start/stop cycles. Pressure tanks work by storing water under pressure between pump cycles — when a faucet opens, the tank delivers water until pressure drops to the cut-in setpoint, at which point the pump restarts and refills the tank.

Cleanflow stocks Flotec shallow well jet pumps with factory-integrated pressure tanks, including the FP410515H 1/2 HP Shallow Well Jet Pump/Tank System — a compact cast iron unit with a pre-mounted 5-gallon horizontal pressure tank and pressure switch, ready to install. For larger drawdown needs, the FP4105 and related jet pumps pair with standalone pre-charged Flotec pressure tanks in the 19-gallon to 85-gallon range (see pressure tank sizing guidance below).

How to size a Flotec pressure tank

Sizing comes down to three factors: pump flow rate, pressure switch setting, and household demand. The industry-standard rule of thumb:

Pump Flow Rate	Minimum Runtime	Minimum Drawdown Needed	Typical Tank Size
5 GPM or less	1 minute	~5 gallons drawdown	20-gallon equivalency tank (e.g., FP7110)
6–10 GPM (typical 1/2 HP pump)	1 minute	~10 gallons drawdown	42-82 gallon equivalency (e.g., FP7110T or FP7120)
11–20 GPM (typical 3/4 to 1 HP pump)	1.5 minutes	~16-30 gallons drawdown	82-220 gallon equivalency (e.g., FP7120 or FP7130)
Over 20 GPM	1.5+ minutes	30+ gallons drawdown	Multiple tanks in parallel (FP7130/FP7135)

Important distinction — "tank capacity" vs "drawdown." A Flotec FP7120 is marketed as an 82-gallon-equivalency tank, but its actual water storage is 35 gallons. Drawdown — the usable water delivered between pump cycles — is only 12.7 gallons at a 20/40 PSI switch, 10.7 gallons at 30/50, or 9.3 gallons at 40/60. Size your tank based on drawdown, not equivalency rating. (Specs sourced from Flotec/Pentair product documentation.)

If your household has water treatment equipment (iron filter, softener, acid neutralizer) installed after the pressure tank, size up one tier. Treatment equipment backwash cycles create simultaneous demand that a minimum-size tank can't handle without short-cycling the pump.

Flotec pressure tank installation tips

Three installation details matter more than any other for a Flotec pressure tank's service life:

Set the air pre-charge before adding water. Pre-charge pressure should be 2 PSI below the pump's cut-in setting. For a 30/50 PSI switch, pre-charge to 28 PSI. For a 40/60 PSI switch, pre-charge to 38 PSI. Use a standard tire gauge on the Schrader valve at the top of the tank. Doing this with water already in the tank gives an inaccurate reading.
Power down and drain before any service. Disconnect power to the well pump and relieve all water pressure by opening a downstream faucet until the gauge reads zero before checking pre-charge, replacing the bladder, or servicing any connections.
Check pre-charge annually. Pre-charge drops slowly over time. A tank that's lost its pre-charge delivers less drawdown than rated, causes the pump to short-cycle, and accelerates pump wear. Five minutes of annual maintenance extends system life by years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Flotec pressure tank with my Flotec well pump?

Yes, every well pump system needs a pressure tank. Without one, the pump turns on every time you open a faucet, causing rapid short-cycling that destroys the pump motor within months. A correctly sized Flotec pressure tank stores water under pressure, lets the pump run for longer cycles (at least 1 minute), and extends pump service life from months to years. Some Flotec pumps like the FP410515H ship with an integrated pressure tank; others pair with standalone Flotec pre-charged tanks sized to match the pump's flow rate (see the sizing guide above).

Can Flotec pumps be used for flood control?

Yes, Flotec’s utility and submersible dewatering pumps are specifically designed for flood control and emergency water removal, offering rapid and efficient water transfer when you need it most.

Are Flotec pumps easy to install?

Absolutely. Flotec pumps feature user-friendly designs that allow for quick installation and simple maintenance. Many models, including pre-plumbed sump pump kits, come with everything needed for a hassle-free setup.

How do I maintain my Flotec pump?

Regular maintenance includes keeping the pump clean, checking hoses for leaks, and ensuring there are no blockages. Following manufacturer guidelines for your specific Flotec model helps ensure long-lasting performance and reliability.

Are Flotec pumps suitable for homes with low water pressure?

Yes. Flotec booster pumps and shallow well jet pumps are ideal for increasing water pressure in homes with weak supply. Pressure tank systems help maintain consistent flow to faucets and fixtures.

How long do Flotec sump pumps last?

Flotec sump pumps typically last between 7 and 10 years with proper maintenance. Lifespan depends on usage, water conditions, and installation quality. Routine inspection and cleaning help extend service life.
