    No water pressure in entire house/gauge is on zero
    Hi-I lost all water pressure in the entire house overnite. The gauge on the tank in the basement reads zero. We have had problems recently with pressure, but putting air in the bladder has always worked.

    I might add you should never just routinely add air to the pressure tank. That is never anything more than a bandaid.
