  • Perfect and easy drop-in replacement.
My old failed tank was the same model - this new one was dead easy to swap in. Following the instructions I lowered the pressure a little to match line pressure, put tape on the threads, pushed in the plastic "turbulator" thing, and screwed it on. Very easy repair saving a lot compared to calling a plumber - and I hate plumbing and usually pay someone else to do it. ... show more

  • Very Solid Expansion Tank
Installed very easily. Check you home system water pressure first, then pre charge this tank with that pressure with a standard tire pump. Install with Teflon tape, screw it on with light pressure. Good to go for another 7 years! Nice. Plumber wanted almost $300 for a full install. If you are only slightly handy, you can do this. ... show more

  • Old one out, new one in.
Amtrol is a great standard product and the indicator on the bottom is a good feature.

  • Works like a tank
Just make sure the pressure in the tank matches your incoming water pressure and it works fine. However I’ve never had one last more than 4 or 5 years.

  • Good investment
This is the second one i purchased. First lasted 5 years. I have a 40 PSI pressure swing and this takes care of the expansion. No leaks and I use it with the pre-charge pressure.

  • Update Dec24 - Do not trust this brand.
This unit is a direct replacement from the one I had on my water heater. It was a perfect fit, unscrew the original and put on the provided Teflon tape and screw it on. Simple and easy. Update Sep/2024 - Tank failed in about a year. Seller did not respond to warranty inquiry. Not sure if they are even the real deal. The second tank blew after 6 months and give run around on warranty. Don't trust this brand, useless warranty! Don't believe just try claiming the warranty and you will get the run around. These tanks are garbage. The leak senor does not work. My tank diaphragm rupture for months and the indicator shows nothing. All gimmick. In addition, the tank is not stainless steel it will rust like crazy. Check out the photos. The third tank blew even before I installed it. Pressure the tank to 80 PSI source PSI and it just pop! Was rated for 150 right? ... show more
