Answer:
it would all depend on how much this tank holds in actual "drawdown' water.
Some tanks that are listed as having a 32 gallon capacity have a 'drawdown' of only approx 8 gallons.If you were taking a shower and consuming 4 gallons a minute, then the pump would come on every 2 minutes at that rate.
There are some 40 gallon tanks on the market that will give a draw of approx 12 gallons.
In most cases the larger the tank the less(cycling) wear and tear on the pump.
