After reading previous answers to this question and assuming the worse senerio after a plumber inspected my system, how much do you think a plumber would charge me to replace the bladder tank and pump? Or how much approximate to fix the exisitng unit as I'm disabled and can't do it myself. Thank You

One more thing I'd like to add to my previous question is that my water pressure is better in the bathrooms near the pump and worse in the kitchen which is furthest away.Thanks

6. It's difficult to estimate material and labor on your job without a wholesalers price list and the labor conditions, (union or nonunion) in your area so we don't attempt to do so.

How old is your house and what type of pipes do you have? Regards, Tom

You click on the scales to say thank you and to give reputation. I can't help with a estimate to replace both the tank and pump but If you check and clean the aerator screens on your sink spout you may help your pressure problem. If that don't get it then open up the valve and clean the inlet ports on the cartridge. Before you reassemble, and with the valve still open, turn the water back on to flush out the supplies. Good luck, tom
