Water pressure bladder installation
I have a 50 L Truper pressure tank. It loses pressure, water comes out of the air valve and the pump recirculates frquently. I believe that the bladder is leaking water and have purchased a new one.Before opening the tank and replacing the bladder are there any precautions I should take? What air pressure should I put in the tank and do I do this before adding any water?
Thanks Ed |

Not familiar with that type of tank. Evidently it is one which has a replacable bladder. I don't know of any precautions other than to bleed down all pressure to zero. Once you have the new bladder in, you will pressurize it to 2# BELOW the cut in pressure. So, for instance, if the pump cuts on at 40#, you would put the pressure at 38# at the top of the tank. Do this with the pump off and no pressure on the system.

Hello, We just had a new water heater installed yesterday and the water pressure seems to be reduced (probably 85-90%) of the prior level, through out the entire house. Our old water heater started to leak yesterday AM, had the new one installed that afternoon (40 gallon, 9 year wty, gas: GE...
I live in a rural area and my home is supplied by a well with a submersible pump. The water comes into a bladder pressure tank. I have noticed that when the shower or the dishwasher is running, the switch for the submersible well pump keeps switching off and on. I am worried that I will burn up...
