I recenly replaced my old Aqua-air bladder tank that was located in my basement.Some of the water came out of the old tank,but most of it seems to be air locked,making it very heavy and impossible to remove from my basement.I removed the air valve thinking it may break the air lock and release the water.No go
Any suggestions as to how I can get the water out.

Tks

There is an air valve at the top. Try putting 30 or 40 pounds of pressure there. Might give enough push to get the water out. You can also unscrew the T assembly at the bottom. I would think that any water still in the tank would come out with no problem at that point.

It's also possible that what you have in the tank is "crud", which is heavy and wouldn't be likely to come out easy. With the T assembly off, you should be able to simply look into the tank and see what is there.
