    New Wellsaver Pressure tank is banging pipes
    I just replaced my submersable well pump and my pressure tank with a Wellsaver bladder pressure tank. Now, after the water isn't running for a while, the pipes begin to bang and when I look at the pressure tank while this is happenning, the reading on the gauge is bouncing. Help?
