Well-X-Trol Tank

The Amtrol Well-X-Trol WX-302 is a large-volume pressure tank built for whole-property well systems and demanding water applications. Standing twenty-six inches in diameter and forty-eight inches tall with an eighty-six-gallon capacity, it provides a deep reservoir of pressurized water that lets the well pump cycle far less frequently while keeping pressure steady across the entire system. Its wide-body form delivers serious storage in a height that fits comfortably under most basement and utility-room ceilings.

Engineered for pump longevity

Pump motors wear out from frequent starts, not from steady running. By holding eighty-six gallons in reserve, the WX-302 dramatically reduces how often the pump must engage, which lowers electrical inrush, limits heat buildup, and protects both the motor and the pressure switch. The payoff is a longer-lasting pump, fewer service calls, and consistent water pressure even when several fixtures are drawing at once during peak household demand.

• Eighty-six-gallon capacity in a wide-body twenty-six by forty-eight-inch vertical tank
• Pre-pressurized diaphragm isolates stored water from the air cushion
• Large drawdown for high-demand homes and light-commercial use
• Reduces short-cycling to extend pump and pressure-switch life
• Sturdy 123-pound build for permanent installation
• Trusted Amtrol Well-X-Trol diaphragm engineering

The hallmark of the Well-X-Trol line is its sealed diaphragm, which keeps water and the compressed air charge permanently apart. This protects the factory pre-charge, prevents the waterlogging that plagues lesser tanks, and helps maintain clean stored water year after year. To get the most from the WX-302, set the air pre-charge to align with the pump's cut-in pressure and inspect it periodically while the system is depressurized. At 123 pounds, this is a robust, permanently mounted tank suited to basements, mechanical rooms, and pump houses with adequate support. For homeowners and installers who need serious capacity paired with proven reliability, the WX-302 is a dependable choice from one of the most respected names in pressure-tank manufacturing. Its eighty-six-gallon capacity in a stout, wide-body shell makes it especially attractive where ceiling height is limited but a large reserve is still required. Specified correctly alongside a matched pump and pressure switch, the WX-302 anchors a high-demand well system that delivers steady pressure, quiet operation, and years of trouble-free service.
