Sta-Rite CH11160-1K Air Cell Kit
The Sta-Rite CH11160-1K is a replacement air cell kit for a 60-gallon pressure tank, the flexible bladder that separates the tank's stored water from its air charge so the tank can hold pressure without waterlogging.
A tank that waterlogs, short-cycles the pump far more often than it used to, or shows no air charge at the tank's Schrader valve almost always has a ruptured or leaking air cell. Replacing the cell restores the tank's precharge and cycling behavior without replacing the whole tank.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my tank needs a new air cell?
A pump that short-cycles far more often than it used to, a tank that feels heavy and full of water when tapped, or no air pressure at the tank's Schrader valve are the classic signs.
Q: Do I need to replace the whole tank or just the air cell?
If the tank shell itself is not rusted through or leaking, replacing just the air cell restores normal operation at a fraction of the cost of a new tank.
Q: What precharge pressure should I set after installing this?
Set the tank precharge about 2 PSI below the pressure switch cut-in setting, checked with the tank fully drained of water and the pump off.
