17 Jan What That Clicking Sound Near Your Pressure Tank Really Means
Hearing a clicking or tapping sound near your pressure tank can be unsettling.
For many Magic Valley homeowners, this noise is one of the earliest warning signs of a well system issue. While it may seem minor at first, clicking sounds often point to problems that need attention.
Common reasons for clicking sounds
Most clicking noises come from the pressure switch turning the pump on and off too frequently—a condition known as short cycling. This can be caused by a failing pressure tank bladder, incorrect air pressure in the tank, or leaks in the system that prevent proper pressure buildup.
Electrical issues can also create clicking sounds, especially if the switch contacts are worn or damaged.
Why clicking shouldn’t be ignored
Short cycling puts extreme stress on your pump motor and electrical components. Over time, this leads to premature pump failure, higher power bills, and sudden water loss—often at the worst possible moment.
