Water Tank Drawdown and Sizing Guide

The document provides a table and chart detailing the relationship between water tank rated size and actual volume of water drawn down for various tank models. The data shows that as water tank size increases, the actual draw down volume also increases. Notes explain that draw down volume determines pump cycling frequency and equipment life.

Notes to the water tank draw-down volume table above:

1. The "actual draw down" is the physical volume of water that is drawn from the water pressure tank before we
expect the pressure drop in the water supply system to reach the well pump cut-in pressure.
2. The exact water tank size and expected draw-down water volume will vary by manufacturer and tank model, so
our data above is only approximate.
3. The significance of the "draw-down" volume of water is that it determines the frequency with which the water
pump has to cycle on and off which in turn affects equipment life.
