Product was as described, well packed, delivered sooner than expected and was easy to install with great instructions. Pricing was fair and shipping options were great and received earlier than expected. Very, very happy with this company! Will be looking to them for future issues I have.
I have been replacing other tanks (mainly Well Mate) with Flex-Lites for years. I have never replaced a Flex-Lite, though. As soon as I saw the internal design differences between the two I understood why Well Mates fail and Flex-Lites last. Well Mate has an air bladder (essentially an air bag) in the middle of the tank, while the Flex-Lite has a heavy-duty rubber diaphragm dividing the air and water sections. The Flex-Lite is designed exactly as I would have if I wanted it to last as long as possible, while the Well Mate is designed to be produced as cheaply as possible.
Unfortunately, since the well services buy most of them, and they like repeat customers, they all buy the Well Mates. As a result the local distributor has stopped carrying Flex-Lites b/c they don't sell enough of them, despite them being a far superior product.
Fortunately, KeithSpecialty still carries them for a reasonable price, with fast shipping, and excellent customer service.
Ordered this tank because it was an exact replacement for the existing tank, so I felt certain it would fit in the space once I got to it because there was only a 1/2" to spare for height and to disconnect the inlet. Also, there wasn't any room to get a pressure gauge in so I couldn't test the bladder pressure while in place but the tank sounded solid, waterlogged. Additionally, I didn't know if the old tank could be repaired or the bladder could be re-pressurized to 38# and thought this would the easiest most certain solution to having no water once I could gain access to the tank. Easy to remove and reinstall. Used both Teflon tape and pipe dope on the connection on advice from a plumber friend. This made screwing the connection together very easy to turn.
Great product and super fast shipping
