ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is described for controlling the volumes of water and headspace air in a water storage/delivery tank of an individual water well system that includes a pump for maintaining water within the storage/delivery tank and for maintaining the pressure in the tank within preselected limits. The apparatus enables the water level within the tank to be assessed, the air pressure within the tank to be assessed, and the respective volumes of headspace air and water within the tank to be adjusted independently of the pump. Three versions of the apparatus are described: a manually operated system, a semi-automatic system, and a fully automatic system. Use of the apparatus overcomes problems associated with the absorption of the air within the tank and resultant water-logging of the tank. Once this occurs, the pump is caused to switch on and off to an excessive extent. This in turn results in excessive power consumption and wear and tear on the pump and its associated motor, to say nothing of the nuisance the dwelling occupants experience because of such frequent stops and starts of the motorized pump.
