Trouble Shooting Bladder Pressure Tanks
What is a bladder pressure tank?
It is a type of tank containing pressurized air and water separated by a membrane (bladder) and pre-charged with air at the factory. On average, a bladder pressure tank lasts 5–7 years. Please refer to Pressure Relief Valves on Pressure Tanks (331-429), a one-page illustrated tech tip. It explains design
requirements, how pressure relief valves protect pressure tanks, and how to ensure pressure relief valves are approved and installed properly.
