Steady Pressure, Longer Pump Life

Stop the Short-Cycling and Weak-Pressure Complaints

A well pump by itself can't hold consistent pressure at the tap — that's the pressure tank's job. When a tank is undersized, or the bladder has failed, the pump kicks on and off constantly (short-cycling), which wears it out early and shows up as pressure that surges then drops at the shower or sprinkler head.

On larger homes, multi-story layouts, or properties with long supply runs to outbuildings, a booster pump and a larger storage tank keep pressure steady well past what a standard pressure tank alone can manage.

Options

Pressure & Storage Options We Install

Standard Pressure (Bladder) Tank

The baseline pressure buffer every well system needs — sized to your household's fixture count and pump cycle rate.

Constant-Pressure Booster Pump

Holds pressure steady across a whole home or long supply run, common on larger acreage properties and two-story homes.

Above-Ground Storage Tank

Adds reserve capacity for livestock, irrigation, or backup supply during peak demand or a pump service call.

Why It Matters

Low Pressure Is Common on Hill Country Wells

Many wells around New Braunfels, Canyon Lake and Spring Branch produce only a few gallons per minute. That's enough water over a day, but not enough to run a shower, the dishwasher and irrigation at the same time. Homes on hillsides above the wellhead lose more pressure to elevation, and older homes often have pressure tanks that are undersized or waterlogged.

A storage tank and booster pump fix this. The well slowly fills a storage tank, and the booster delivers steady city-like pressure to the house no matter how fast the well recovers.

Options

Storage and Booster Setups We Install

Storage tanks

Poly or steel tanks, usually 1,500 to 5,000 gallons, sized to your household and how long you want to ride through a slow-recovery well or a drought summer.

Booster pumps

Constant-pressure boosters with variable-speed drives hold steady pressure from the tank to the house and use less power than old on/off pumps.

Pressure tank replacement

Short-cycling pumps, sputtering faucets and pressure swings usually mean a failed bladder or an undersized pressure tank. It is often a same-day fix.

Planning

Sizing Your System

We size storage from well yield, number of bathrooms, irrigation and livestock needs. Hard Edwards and Trinity water also factors into equipment choice, since scale shortens the life of pumps and switches. Filtration or a softener ahead of the booster protects your fixtures.

We install systems across New Braunfels, Canyon Lake, Bulverde, Spring Branch, Garden Ridge and nearby Comal and Guadalupe County properties. Related: water well drilling and pump installation, our well drilling cost guide, and all water well services.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my well water pressure low?

The most common causes are a low-yield well, a failing or waterlogged pressure tank, an aging pump, or homes sitting uphill from the well. A storage tank with a booster pump fixes most low-yield situations.

What size storage tank do I need?

Most homes do well with 1,500 to 2,500 gallons. Homes with large irrigation, livestock or very slow wells often go to 3,000 to 5,000 gallons.

Does a booster pump raise my electric bill?

Modern variable-speed boosters run only as hard as demand requires, so the added cost is usually small. They often use less power than an old pump short-cycling on a failed pressure tank.

How long does installation take?

A pressure tank replacement is often done the same day. A full storage tank and booster system usually takes one to three days, depending on the pad and plumbing work.
