    You are asking hot to charge a bladder tank aren't you? Your air setting on the tank should be 2 pounds UNDER the cut in point in the pressure control box. If your pressure control has a 20 PSI cut in and 40 PSI cut out the tank pressure should read 18 PSI. The bladder tank setting MUST be made with the pump off and the system bled down by opening a cold water faucet after you shut the system down at the breaker box. Hope this helps and thank you for rating my reply. Tom

    Milo, I think he's talking about a Schourder (sp.) or snifter valve, (see image) that's on top of a bladder tank. Don't you agree? Cheers, Tom
