How can you increase the water pressure from a tank?

The only way to increase water pressure is with a booster pump. I would recommend talking to a plumber, he can give you an estimate and possibly some pointers. Also, home improvement shops tend to have poor pump selection so be sure to shop around from catalogs and the internet before buying anything.


What happens if water gets in oil tank?

Water in an oil tank can cause corrosion, reduce the efficiency of the heating system, and increase the risk of equipment failure. The presence of water can also promote bacterial growth, leading to sludge formation which can clog fuel lines and filters. It's important to address water in the oil tank promptly to prevent damage to the system.


Will a tank full of water and a tank filled with water and fish swimming weigh the same on a scale?

That depends on the weight of the fish as compared to the weight of the water their bodies displace. If it's a heavy, dense fish, then the tank with the fish would weigh more. If it's a light, less dense fish, then the tank with water only would weigh more. This assumes that the water displaced has been removed from the tank, right? If you are adding the fish to the water then I think it should increase the weight regardless of the density of your fish. The question then might be, does the fish weigh less when it is swimming than it would on a dry scale?


Why is a scuba diver's air tank placed in a tub of water when being refilled?

Because compressing a gas increases its temperature. The increase in temperature increases the pressure further. By cooling the tank in water the tank can be filled with more air, it's also safer than having a very hot super high pressure tank at the end of the fill.


What would cause a constant bubbling or gurgling noise in and around your hot water tank even when the hot water is not turned on?

Constant gurggling is a sign of lime and calcium build up in your tank. If the bottom of your outer tank is very hot to touch you may need to replace the water heater. When this happens the lower part of the tank is very hot and as an example it is like filling a pot with rocks and water see how long it takes to boil on your stove that means you are using alot more gas to heat that water because it has to go through sheets of lime and calcium. I do not recommend draining and cleaning the tank because it is very expensive and who is to say that the control or tank will not last after that. You have to consider the age of the tank and your water system. Most of your heat is probably coming out of the front of the tank where the burner is at. I bet you have a dark brown spot at the front of your tank where the heat is coming out where you lite the pilot. There is alot to consider about a new tank, Most gas companies will give you a rebate for changing it out to a new one or have a program to replace your water heater by a contractor and they may(if you are in good standing with them as credit and payments go) add the cost to your bill monthly and you are not out of pocket any money up front and usually no interest. Call your gas company first. See what they will do for you. Good luck!

How do you fit a second tank in tandem to increase the hot water pressure?

Another tank will do nothing to increase the pressure. If it is city water, the pressure is regulated at themeter. The only thing that could increase it is to increase the size pipe supplying the fixtures. There is probably 3/4 inch coming into the house and it reduces to 1/2. The slight increase would probably not be worth the expense of doing. The pressure is still going to be the same, just more volume.

How do you increase water pressure from a gravity tank by increasing pipe sizes?

you cannot increase the pressure from a gravity tank by changing the pipe size, only the volume of water that will flow in a given period of time. The only way to increase the pressure is to increase the difference between the elevation of the tank and the elevation of the spigot. Many people will confuse an increase in water volume with an increase in water pressure, because, in both cases, more water will flow in a given period of time. ...moreincreasing the pipe size can reduce elevation loss due to friction which can translate in lay mans terms as an "increase in pressure"
