The pressure tank is typically a large, often blue or grey, cylindrical tank. The pressure switch is a smaller electrical box mounted directly onto the pipe connected to the pressure tank. It will have a lever or handle for manual operation and often a visible dial or markings indicating pressure settings. Familiarize yourself with the location and appearance of these components.
