Expansion Tank

12" x 48" tank that is horizontal has lots of surface area for water to touch air. Would it be better to put it vertical with the same presser. Would take longer for the air to leak into the water?

yes it would take longer
the thing is why not use a bladder style tank instead?Cost is what you spend , value is what you get.

The air moves from the tank by gravity circulation.
If you use an Airtrol fitting in the tank the gravity circulation will stop and the air will remain in the tank much longer. It's a simple solution.Retired and loving it.0 -
I`ll second the Airtrol fitting,,,
I use them all the time. :-)0
