Well-X-Trol Tank, 22x62

For properties with serious water demand, the Amtrol Well-X-Trol WX-252 delivers a substantial eighty-six-gallon capacity in a tall twenty-two-inch diameter by sixty-two-inch body. This large pressure tank stores an ample reserve of pressurized water, allowing the well pump to satisfy heavy or simultaneous demand while running far less often than a small tank would require. The tall vertical design concentrates that big volume into a sensible floor footprint, an important advantage in crowded mechanical rooms and pump houses.

The benefit of a tank this size comes down to drawdown and pump protection. Every pump start produces an inrush of electrical current and mechanical stress, so the fewer times the pump cycles, the longer it lasts. With eighty-six gallons of capacity, the WX-252 provides a large buffer that keeps the pump resting between draws, smooths out pressure swings across many fixtures, and shields the pressure switch and motor from the punishing effects of rapid short-cycling.

Ideal applications

• Large homes and estates with multiple bathrooms and high peak demand
• Agricultural, irrigation, and livestock watering systems
• Light-commercial and multi-fixture installations
• Constant-pressure and booster pump systems needing a large reserve
• Any well system where minimizing pump cycling is a top priority
• Properties expanding their water demand beyond a smaller tank's limits

As with all Well-X-Trol tanks, a heavy-duty diaphragm permanently separates the stored water from the sealed air charge. This design protects the factory pre-charge, prevents waterlogging, and keeps the stored water clean throughout the tank's long service life. When commissioning the WX-252, set the air pre-charge to match your pump's cut-in pressure and recheck it periodically with the system depressurized for best results. Its tall sixty-two-inch vertical profile makes it a smart choice for installations where floor space is limited but storage capacity cannot be. With Amtrol's long-standing reputation behind it, the WX-252 is a dependable cornerstone for high-capacity well water systems that demand consistent pressure day in and day out. With eighty-six gallons of reserve, this tank is built for the kind of sustained, heavy draw that would quickly overwhelm a residential-size unit, making it a natural fit for larger properties and light-commercial sites alike. The result is a water system that holds pressure through demanding peaks while sparing the pump from the rapid cycling that shortens its life.
