Pressure tank in condensation

[Pinusbanksiana]

How do you all handle all the condensation on pressure tanks and water softners?

Insulation covering or a dehumidifier are your best bet.

Arch is right on. Insulating it is probably the cheapest and most reliable.

What if I wrapped the tank in sill seal, then enclosed it with a plywood box and foam board inside? Also thinking about wrapping the pipes with sill seal material.

[LightningBG]

Sill seal is pretty thin stuff.

For the pipes, I'd use regular foam pipe insulation sections.

As for your tank... are you trying to quiet it down, or just deal with the condensation? I dont think a plywood box is going to help your condensation.

You can use something as cheap as an old blanket, or be as elaborate as that bubble wrap foil insulation and cut and foil tape it to fit snug around the tank. Personally if it were me I'd get a blanket

[Tom7227]

Couldn't you use one of those fiberglass condoms they make for water heaters and just snug it down?

Pipes (and tanks) sweating is caused by fresh air circulating around it. Water lines piped in your walls that are sealed don't sweat. A box placed over it, while ugly, would probably take care of it.
