- Polypropylene liner, butyl diaphragm
- Replaceable base

Limitations to weigh
- Set the tank's air pre-charge 2 psi below the pump's cut-in pressure (28 psi for a 30/50 switch, 38 psi for 40/60) with the water off.
- Well pumps usually need a licensed installer, the right wire size and a pressure tank sized to the pump.
