Discover how Pentair WellMate pressure tanks improve water system reliability, reduce pump cycling, maintain stable pressure, and support low-maintenance water supply applications.
Today we would like to introduce the Pentair WellMate pressure tank range. These products are designed to improve the reliability and service life of water supply systems by supporting pressure boosting applications and reducing unnecessary pump operation.
Pentair WellMate pressure tanks are widely used in residential, industrial, and irrigation systems where stable pressure and efficient system performance are essential. Their lightweight construction, corrosion-resistant materials, and low maintenance requirements make them a practical solution for a wide range of water supply installations.
How Pentair WellMate Pressure Tanks Protect Booster Pumps
One of the main advantages of Pentair WellMate pressure tanks is the protection they provide to booster pumps by significantly reducing the number of pump start cycles.
Thanks to the water storage capacity inside the tank, the pump does not need to start every time there is a small demand for water. This helps reduce mechanical stress on the pump and limits unnecessary start-ups.
As a result, users benefit from:
- Reduced mechanical stress
- Fewer pump start cycles
- Lower energy consumption
- Longer pump service life
For pressure boosting systems, reducing pump cycling is an important operational benefit because it improves overall system efficiency and reliability over time.
Maintaining Constant System Pressure
Another key benefit of the WellMate range is its ability to keep the system constantly pressurized. This improves service continuity in both residential and industrial applications.
By maintaining stable water pressure, the tank helps prevent pressure fluctuations during water usage. This is especially important in systems where consistent water delivery is required.
Typical installations where stable pressure is essential include:
- Multi-storey residential buildings
- Water storage systems
- Well water installations
- Sprinkler irrigation systems
- Drip irrigation systems
In these applications, the WellMate tank acts as temporary water storage that stabilizes the operation of the booster system and prevents unnecessary pump activation for small water demands.
Simple and Reliable Construction
From a construction standpoint, Pentair WellMate pressure tanks are designed to be simple, lightweight, and reliable.
Inside the tank there is an Air Cell membrane made of Polyether Urethane, pre-charged at 1.5 bar. During installation, the pressure can be adjusted from the top up to 8.6 bar.
If required, the membrane can also be replaced from the bottom of the tank and is backed by a 5-year warranty.
The inlet and outlet connections are located at the bottom and share the same PVC pipe assembly. The internal liner is manufactured from HDPE, while the external shell is made of epoxy resin reinforced with fiberglass.
Because these tanks are not subject to corrosion, maintenance requirements remain extremely low throughout their operating life.
Available Sizes and System Compatibility
The Pentair WellMate pressure tank range includes models suitable for systems of different sizes and requirements.
Available versions include:
- Models from 55 to 150 liters with 1” connections
- Models from 180 to 450 liters with 1.5” connections
Under standard operating conditions, the drawdown capacity is approximately one-third of the total tank volume.
This extensive product range allows installers and system designers to select the appropriate tank size for residential, commercial, and industrial pressure boosting applications.
Typical Applications for Pentair WellMate Tanks
Pentair WellMate pressure tanks are commonly used in applications where stable pressure and reliable water availability are critical.
Applications:
- Booster Pump Systems
The tanks help stabilize booster system operation while reducing pump cycling and unnecessary starts.
- Multi-Storey Residential Buildings
Maintaining constant water pressure is particularly important in multi-level buildings where pressure fluctuations can affect user comfort and service continuity.
- Water Storage Systems
WellMate tanks provide temporary water storage that helps maintain pressure and improve overall system reliability.
- Well Water Installations
In well water systems, the tanks reduce frequent pump activation and support consistent water supply performance.
- Sprinkler and Drip Irrigation Systems
Stable pressure is essential for efficient irrigation performance, making WellMate tanks suitable for both sprinkler and drip irrigation applications.
Pentair WellMate pressure tanks are designed to support reliable and efficient water supply systems through stable pressure management and reduced pump cycling.
Their corrosion-resistant construction, lightweight design, low maintenance requirements, and wide product range make them suitable for many residential, industrial, and irrigation applications.
By acting as temporary water storage within the system, WellMate tanks help stabilize booster pump operation, reduce unnecessary pump activation, and contribute to longer pump service life.
