8. How old was the old tank?

I worry about mine since the tank is over forty years old. We've replaced the pump inside the well three times, the control box several times, and just had to replace the capacitor in the control box.

Our tank and well provide water for the entire farm, not just the house, so it is essential. Most of the cost of replacing the capacitor was for the emergency call - the danged thing went out about 4:30 in the afternoon and by the time I did some troubleshooting, it was after five. At least the guy got here quick so by 6:30 we had water. My husband was relieved, he'd worked hard in the heat that day and really, really wanted a shower.
