Is this a pre-charged tank or does it have an air input valve?

they do come pre charged, but of course they have the air valve as you need to adjust it to your well and cut off switch to work the best for your application

It is a precharged tank, but also has the air valve. Mine came ready for hook up.

Answer to both questions is yes. It IS a pre-charged tank , 38psi, 2#below the average cut-in pressure of 40psi, which is correct. it also has a shrader valve used to check/and or add air. Average well switches are set at 40-60psi great tank , you may also want to change out pressure switch as well

It is pre-charged to around 32psi and has a valve on the top side to add more air for setting pressure. I did not have to add any air with my pressure switch set for 50-70

pre charged , but also has a valve on top in case of need to recharge ,.my last one lasted13 years before bottom rusted out

No it does not. The hopper and air tank are sold separately. I would recommend the Proto Primo hopper if you do not plan on going electric. Best bang for the buck.

It's a separate filter. I've got a 65 gallon air pump. You run the air line to the filter and suction it to the back of the tank.

It is a Pressure Assist type. There's a plastic inner tank inside the ceramic one. It sounds like a jet taking off when you flush it, uses only about 1 gallon of water, and refills in 10 seconds.

Hi, Yes it is. It has 2 air chambers, a double air pump, and 2 independent controls. (One for each side.)

Yes, it uses an undergravel filter. That is it comes with a airpump which powers the filter.

No air pump included. You probably don't really need one, though, since the included hang-on-back filter causes plenty of surface agitation to aerate the water.

No. No air involved, just water. This thing attaches to an outlet. It does not affect what goes into the filter/pump.

My unit did come with a regulator / dirt/ water separator but it broke/ clogged in the first week of use... other than that all works well... so far...I use my compressor to regulate the air flow until I can replace the factory one...for the price Im happy but my next unit will be the "Green one" !!! or the ......

The manual says it is filled and charged, but it isn't. You have to fill it yourself. It is easy, though.

No there is no pressure tank needed it works great and is quiet I use a 5 gallon bucket to draw out of and when you turn off the flow the pump shuts off and restarts when the flow is opened again. Good pump.

.....an additional comment to my last one: The comment by Roy H. is incorrect. Contrary to his statement, you cannot attach an air brush to this tank without first installing a regulator. Also, this tank isn't, "a very nice product for the money" as he states. If you look at my original review, you'll see that the tank comes with a 'too short' air hose and, worst of all, a cheap hose-end attachment that ruins Schrader valves. To make this tank usable, you need to replace the hose (with a longer one) and replace the cheap hose-end attachment with a good quality universal adapter that accepts a variety of tools e.g., filler valves, air tips etc. .....an additional comment to my last one: The comment by Roy H. is incorrect.

Vince, It came pre-charged. I am using the tank in our RV with an upgraded high pressure (85psi) pump. When we are not hooked to city water, the pump will run for a couple of minutes filling the tank. After the pump shuts off, we can use almost 4 gal of water until the pump runs again. The tank has a schrader valve (bicycle type) to allow adjustment of charge. After you install the tank, I would perform the following test: Allow the tank to fill, pump shuts off, run water, measure amount of water until the pump restarts. If the amount of water is much less than 4 gal, let some air out of the tank. If the tank air charge is to high compared to the incoming water pressure, the tank will not fill to 4 gal. Hope this helps.

This has a compression fitting that screws on to the 1/4" plastic tubing. If it doesn't work any hardware store will have the correct one for $2-3 dollars. This was a great buy for me. My old one was only putting out 5-10 seconds of pressure about 10 oz. this tank keeps going and easily fills a half gallon pitcher.

Yes, this comes with a regulator. What I think you ment to ask is of it comes with a regulator gauge to see how much air pressure is left in the tank. The answer is also yes, it has a regulator gauge.

It does not come pre-filled. It does come with a siphon. You'll need to use it, along with a bucket of water. It only gets filled to under the half way mark. Although the tank is two piece (upper & lower half), it appears to be sealed well, and with the water level being below the halfway point, it's not likely to ever leak (unless you store it upright, in which case YMMV).

It operates on its own. But I'm not sure why you would hook it to an air compressor?I think what you are asking is, does it need a holding tank? No, it doesnt.hope that helps.
