If that faucet would have blown off while we were gone or sleeping.The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water. Way to forget, huh? Really ducked a tragedy here. So I temporarily grabbed a black/gas pipe fitting to replace later. It was then I remembered that our hardware store down the road was sold out of the galvanized male adapter fitting I needed. When I started to turn the faucet off of the tee, it fell right off. Next time will be a breeze! It turned out to be a blessing though that I had to take all the piping apart. This time though, I put a nice 1" galvanized coupler between the tank and the tee. They pulled a new boxed tank off the shelf and off I went. So, at any rate, I cut the tank from the plumbing and dragged it to Menard's along with the receipt. Now his most bold, confident statement: "I feel very strongly that our Water Worker, etc tanks are probably the SECOND best tanks on the market today". They're just not as good as our X-Trol line". This does NOT mean that they are bad tanks. The Water Worker line we build for the Retail stores are made a little lighter here and there. Quote: "Our name line, Amtrol/Well-X-Trol are the best tanks on the market today. His advice was to take the tank back to the B/Box store for an exchange. This is all because of distribution legal protection and contracts. Likewise, an X-Trol installer can't turn in your W/Worker tank for warranty. Home Depot, Menards, etc are not allowed to order an X-Trol tank. The W/Worker store is the only place that can honor that warranty. He said it sounds simple to just get a refund and put that towards an X-Trol. Had a great talk with him really good guy. I called the Amtrol/Well-X-Trol rep for WI and MN about upgrading. ![]() Update: I found that this Water Worker tank had a 5 yr. I just got this back together so tearing it back apart right now is not very appealing YET [ -) Plus my tank is quite close to the wall with only 8" of copper tubing protruding through the foundation wall to the tank tee coupler. Still would like your input on my tank problem though. ![]() Guess I shoulda clicked on Cart while I had the chance. UPDATE: The price just changed overnight. Does this sound like a no-brainer to you? Do you think it is a bladder rupture?Īs I nosed around, I see an Amtrol WX-203 for pretty much the same price as it's sub-brands. AND my water filter started turning rust orange. There is no water coming out of the Schraeder valve yet, but whenever draining the tank, the pre-charge no longer exists. My H2OW-TO HT30 tank is now whistling inside pretty loud whenever refilling and 5 minutes after. All come out of 905 Hickory Lane in Mansfield Ohio. I noticed in a 2013 thread that the parent company Amtrol only offers a diaphragm type in that line only ? After researching them, I see that they also make the "Water Worker", "H2OW-TO", and "Water Source". ![]()
