Product Description
Reliable Water Storage For Residential Well Systems And Booster Applications Featuring Anti-Microbial Protection And Durable Steel Construction
Product Overview
The Flexcon WR80R WELL-RITE Vertical Steel Well Tank stores 26 gallons of potable water to stabilize system pressure. This pre-charged unit operates in residential wells, irrigation setups, and commercial water systems to protect pump longevity and maintain consistent flow.
Quick Specs:
Pre-Charge: 38 PSI (Adjustable)
Capacity: 26 Gallons
Maximum Pressure: 125 PSI
Connection Size: 1" FPT
Certification: NSF 61 Certified
⚠️ Important Compatibility Note
The optional Tank with Brass Install Kit and Tank with Stainless Steel Install Kit both include an adjustable pressure switch, factory pre-set to 30/50 PSI. This switch is fully adjustable and can easily be changed to other common residential pressure settings, such as 40/60 PSI.
Key Features of Flexcon Well-Rite WR-80R 26 Gallon
The tank uses CAD-2 diaphragm technology with a 100% butyl rubber upper chamber for superior air retention.
An anti-microbial copolymer polypropylene lower water chamber ensures clean water storage and prevents bacterial growth.
The patented welded stainless steel water connection separates air and water seals completely to prevent leaks.
A condensation-reducing design helps prevent external corrosion on the tank walls by insulating the cold water.
Construction involves 16-gauge cold-rolled steel finished with durable urethane paint for indoor or outdoor use.
The steel clench ring regulates movement to prevent the diaphragm from rubbing against the tank walls.
A high-quality brass air valve with an O-ring seal minimizes air loss and simplifies maintenance.
Tank Installation Kit Options (Adjustable Pressure Switch Included)
The Flexcon WR-80R is available in the following options:
Tank Only
Includes the 26-gallon Flexcon WR-80R pressure tank only. No pressure switch, gauge, or installation fittings are included.
Tank with Brass Install Kit
Includes the WR-80R tank paired with a durable brass tank tee assembly for reliable well system installations, corrosion-resistant, and easy to service.
Tank with Stainless Steel Install Kit
Includes the WR-80R tank paired with a 304 stainless steel tank tee assembly with pressure switch, gauge, relief valve, union, and hose bib.
Each tank install kit includes:
304 Stainless steel union tank tee
Adjustable pressure switch
75 PSI pressure relief valve
0-100 PSI pressure gauge
Heavy-duty hose bib
PTFE thread seal tape
Important Compatibility Note:
The pressure switch included with the installation kit typically ships with a factory preset pressure setting of 30/50 PSI. You can easily adjust this setting to match common residential well system pressure ranges, including:
20/40 PSI
30/50 PSI
40/60 PSI
This adjustability allows the installation kit to work directly with most residential well pump systems, without requiring a different pressure switch.

Common Pressure System Problems
If you're experiencing any of the following:
The well pump is cycling on and off too frequently.
Inconsistent water flow or sputtering faucets.
Premature wear on pump motors due to short cycling.
Corrosion in existing metal tanks causes water quality issues.
Condensation is damaging the floor around your tank.
This WR-80R Well Pressure Tank minimizes pump starts and stops, while providing a buffer of pressurized water to stabilize flow across your plumbing network.
Key Benefits of This 26-Gallon Pressure Tank
Reduces energy consumption by limiting how often your pump cycles.
Anti-microbial liner resists bacterial growth for safer, cleaner water storage.
Heavy-duty urethane paint finish withstands damp indoor basements or outdoor environments.
Stainless steel connections resist corrosion better than standard mild steel fittings.
CAD-2 technology separates water from the steel shell entirely to prevent tank corrosion.
Installation & Maintenance
Pre-charged to 38 PSI (adjustable).
Compatible with 20/40, 30/50, and 40/60 pressure switch settings.
Standard 1" FPT connection fits most residential plumbing.
Maintenance Guidelines:
Check air pressure annually to ensure optimal performance.
Maintain pre-charge 2 PSI below your system's cut-in pressure.
Inspect the air valve periodically for any signs of pressure loss.
Accessories & Add-Ons
To complete your setup, we recommend using a high-quality pressure tank installation kit for a secure connection. You may also need specific steel fittings or pressure tank accessories, depending on your plumbing configuration.
For applications requiring higher pressure, pair this tank with compatible Booster Pumps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the pressure switch adjustable, or is it locked at 30/50 PSI?
The optional pressure switch ships with a factory default setting of 30/50 PSI, but it is fully adjustable in the field. You can change the internal spring tension to set it to 40/60 PSI or other standard ranges to match your specific pump configuration.
Does the tank come pre-charged?
Yes, the Flexcon WR-80R comes factory pre-charged to 38 PSI. This setting allows quick and easy installation on systems using a 40/60 pressure switch.
How should the tank pre-charge be set?
You must always set the empty tank pre-charge to exactly 2 PSI below your pump's cut-in pressure. For example, if you use a 30/50 pressure switch, you need to release air using the brass valve on top of the tank until it reads 28 PSI. Ensure the tank is completely empty of water before checking or adjusting the air pressure.
What is the drawdown for the Pressure Tank WR-80 Well Rite 26 Gallon?
The drawdown capacity depends on your pressure switch setting. It provides 10.5 gallons at 20/40, 8.9 gallons at 30/50, and 7.7 gallons at 40/60.
Is this tank suitable for drinking water?
Yes, the Flexcon Well-Rite WR-80R 26 Gallon is NSF 61 Certified for potable water use.
Does the water touch the metal tank walls?
No. The water is contained entirely within the anti-microbial copolymer polypropylene chamber and the butyl diaphragm, meaning the pressurized Flexcon WR-80R 26-gallon unit never exposes water to the steel shell.
Can this tank be installed outside?
Yes, the appliance-quality urethane paint finish allows for both indoor and outdoor installation.
How do I adjust the pre-charge on the Well Rite pressure tank?
You can adjust the pre-charge using the brass air valve located on the top of the tank. It should be set to 2 PSI below your pump’s cut-in pressure before installation.
What is the warranty on this model?
The Flexcon WR-80R Well Pressure Tank comes with a 5-year limited warranty.
What is the difference between the WR-80 and WR-80R?
They are the same product. WR-80 is the base model number, and WR-80R is often used to denote the retail or specific revision of the Flexcon WR80R Well-Rite Vertical Steel Well Tank.
