    Bladder Tank Setting
    Hoping you can help me. I have the same problem with my water pressure, except when I check the valve, I just get air. Should I put more air in the tank?

    No two complaints are the same so what, exactly would that problem be?
    To charge your bladder tank correctly Shut the pump off at the breaker box and open a cold water tap to bleed off the pressure.
    You will see a air valve on top of the tank. The PSI on the bladder tank should be 2 PSI UNDER the cut in point on the control box. In other words if your pump cuts in at 30 PSI the tank should be charged at 28 PSI. Good luck Tom
