At what level does your catchment have to be....

The bladder is gone in tank. Until you get the tank replaced, and do this very soon, drain the tank and then refill it and add about 5lbs more of air through the air valve. This will get you some function but not a lot and it will not last as the air eventually is absorbed into the water and you loose the air pressure that makes it work. It will now be operating as an old non-bladder tank. The advantage of bladder is that you get the equivilent usage of a much larger tank. When dealing with non-bladder tanks, air has to be added on a regular basis through the air valve or they must be completely drained so that when refilled a air pressure charge is produced.

so you think I should replace entire tank or just bladder? I need some guidance & advice here gang! I'm assuming pump will not need to be replaced just yet? Also what will something like this set me back if I have to replace it??
