Well-X-Trol Tank

The Amtrol Well-X-Trol WX-205 is a high-capacity pressure tank designed for demanding well water systems that move significant volumes of water. With a thirty-four-gallon capacity in a wider twenty-two-inch diameter by thirty-inch tall body, it stores a large reserve under pressure so your pump can supply multiple fixtures simultaneously without constantly cycling on and off. Its broad, relatively short profile is a practical fit for mechanical spaces where a tall, narrow tank would be awkward to position.

Why drawdown matters

The amount of usable water a tank delivers between pump cycles is called drawdown, and a larger drawdown is the single biggest factor in protecting a well pump. Each time a pump starts, it draws a surge of current and generates heat; reducing those starts extends motor life and stabilizes the pressure your fixtures see. The WX-205's roomy thirty-four-gallon capacity provides ample drawdown for larger households, properties with high simultaneous demand, and light-commercial settings where reliability is essential.

• Thirty-four-gallon pressure tank in a compact twenty-two by thirty-inch vertical form
• Pre-pressurized diaphragm keeps stored water separate from the air charge
• Large drawdown reduces pump starts and smooths system pressure
• Great fit for high-demand homes, irrigation, and booster systems
• Wide-body shape suits low-clearance mechanical rooms and pump houses
• Backed by the proven Amtrol Well-X-Trol diaphragm design

Amtrol's sealed diaphragm construction is what sets Well-X-Trol apart from lesser tanks. By preventing the water from ever touching the compressed air cushion, the design preserves the factory pre-charge and helps keep the stored water clean and free of waterlogging over the long haul. For proper operation, set the tank's air pre-charge to about two pounds below the pump cut-in pressure, and verify it periodically with the system off and drained. The wide-body WX-205 is ideal where a shorter, broader tank fits the available space better than a tall one. For installers and homeowners alike, it represents a dependable, maintenance-light way to add pressure stability and lasting pump protection to a busy water system. The thirty-four-gallon capacity is particularly well matched to homes that have outgrown a smaller tank or to properties combining domestic use with light irrigation. By absorbing demand spikes and spacing out pump starts, the WX-205 keeps the system running smoothly while quietly safeguarding the pump motor that would otherwise bear the brunt of constant cycling.
