Does your Puratek have abooster pump? What pressures do you get? I am on Edmonton water supply with a booster pump and get 100psi on the gauge. Not sure if a pressure tank would be worth it.

Pressure tanks work just fine, i have a few running off my 200GPD puratek, along with float switch in sump for ATO, and 2 50Gallon barrels for H2O Changes. I use the pressure tanks for fresh drinking water, under the sink in the kitchen, and under the sink at the wet bar, and one for the fridge, to make Ice
