Hello,
found this on an inspection in in the basement on a house from 1900…looks like a range boiler?
Thanks,
Bill
It was most likely a water heater.

It is a pressure tank for well water. I have the same equipment. Those are old and outdated. They don’t make them in galvanized steel anymore.
^^^^^^^^^^I Agree,^^^^^^^^^^^
Must have been a well at one time, house is now on city water. Thanks guys for the speedy responses.

Agree with this except that they don’t make them in galvanized steel.
Bill,
I’m sure you meant to say “Tanks guys”.
We’ll let it slide this time…

It looks like a galvanized expansion tank. Is it plumbed to the boiler outlet?
I have the same setup; house built in 1900 as well. I’m now on city water, so all is unused. The well pump is still there (mostly); I’m thinking of setting it up to run for (yard, garden) irrigation only. Anyone want to chime in?
