2. I figure this is just another 'perk' if I decide to put the house on the market.

And save me a lot of hassle, down the road.

Most of the equipment, here, has really lasted a long time. When I replaced the submersible well pump, 3 years ago, the date on it was something like 1983. The furnace/ac I replaced in 2018 was installed in 1985. Who knows how old this well tank is but I bet it's from about the same era. As, most likely, is the water softener.

How old was the old tank? csziggy Aug 2020 #8

I have no idea, but going by the other equipment I've replaced, probably about 30 years old Siwsan Aug 2020 #9
