pressure tank replacements

[mrbb]

OK I have a failing pressure tank, BUt I cannot tell what size I have, there is NO info on the tank, but guessing by size its either a 20 or 26 gallon tank
the plumber that is going to replace is telling me a 20 gallon tank will be more than enough, and that I will NOT notice any loss in pressure , like as in shower water pressure, or me being able to run a power washer I have
he only carry's 20 gallon tanks, and is pushing me to buy that size tank(plus tells me the price difference to get a 26 is a bunch more over a 20)
My question is, IF I now HAVE a 26, as again NOT sure what size I actually have
but if he replaces it with a 20gallon tank
will I notice any difference's??
there is only one bath in the mobile home, and seldom more than two people at it
thanks, appreciate any suggestion

I doubt you would notice much of a difference, The tank is there to hold pressure in the system so if you open the faucet for a glass of water or flush the toilet the pump would not have to kick on. In a shower the pump would most likely be running.

thanks , that is what the plumber was saying, but others were telling me other wise, and just wasn't sure
appreciate the reply

I have a 20 gallon that I installed a few months back. I tend to take long showers in the morning, and never have any issues with pressure drops. The well pump might kick on a little more often if you downsize from a 26 to 20 gallon, but shouldn't notice any changes in the house.
