Signs Your System Needs an Inline Pressure Tank
Your water system may benefit from an inline pressure tank if you notice any of the following issues:
- Booster pumps are turning on and off too frequently
- Inconsistent water pressure at fixtures
- Pressure drops when multiple fixtures or appliances run
- Irrigation pumps cycle rapidly during operation
- Pump motors are overheating due to short cycling
Installing a compact inline pressure tank helps stabilize system pressure and reduce excessive pump cycling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a pressure switch included with this tank or manifold kit?
No. Pressure switches are not included and must be selected separately based on your system requirements.
Does the tank come pre-charged?
Yes, this inline pressure tank comes factory pre-charged to 28 PSI. You must adjust this air pressure to suit your system's specific operating requirements before starting the pump.
How should the tank pre-charge be set?
You must set the tank's air pre-charge exactly 2 PSI below your pressure switch's cut-in setting. You must perform this adjustment while the tank is completely empty of water.
Where should an inline pressure tank be installed?
An inline pressure tank like the Flexcon PJR15 is typically installed on the discharge side of the pump, between the pump and the system piping. It can be mounted vertically using a wall-mount bracket or installed directly on the line, depending on your system configuration. Proper placement helps stabilize pressure and reduce rapid pump cycling.
What is the difference between total volume and drawdown?
Total volume refers to the physical space inside the tank (4.8 gallons). Drawdown represents the actual amount of usable water the tank delivers between pump cycles. For this model, the drawdown ranges from 1.3 to 1.7 gallons, depending on your pressure switch setting.
Can I install this outdoor-rated inline booster pressure tank outside?
Yes. The tank features an appliance-quality powder coat finish and a sealed brass air valve equipped with an O-ring. These features withstand harsh weather and reduce external corrosion.
Is this tank safe for residential drinking water?
Yes, the Jet-Rite 2 pressure tank is NSF certified for drinking water. It features an FDA-approved butyl rubber diaphragm and a polypropylene liner that keeps the drawdown water pure.
What kind of connection does this tank use?
The tank features a reinforced 3/4-inch NPT stainless steel connection. This provides excellent leak resistance and stands up to harsh elements better than standard steel or plastic connections.
