Tanks for well water systems: WellMate fiberglass pressure tanks (15–120 gallons), Clack fiberglass retention tanks for chlorination and peroxide systems (40, 80 and 120 gallons), and the sand trap sediment tank. All ship free. Pressure tank or retention tank?
| Tank | Job | Shop |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure tank | Stores pressurized water so the well pump doesn't cycle on every faucet. Sized to your pump's flow rate; fiberglass won't rust or dent. | WellMate WM-4 to WM-35WB |
| Retention (contact) tank | Gives chlorine or hydrogen peroxide 10–20 minutes of contact time before the carbon filter, and lets oxidized iron settle. No bladder. | Clack RT40, RT80, RT120 |
| Sand trap / sediment tank | Catches sand and grit before it reaches the pressure tank, softener or filters. Flush from the drain valve. | Sand trap sediment filter |
Most chlorination systems use all three in order: sand trap → pressure tank → chemical injection → retention tank → carbon filter. Our retention tank vs. pressure tank guide explains the difference in more depth, and we'll lay out the whole train for you at 800-374-2143.
