Furthermore, the bladder tanks are considerably smaller than the older 42 gal galvanized water tanks…if you try to use a ruptured bladder tank like the old style, you will find it won’t delivera good water flow and will cycle excessively. The only solution is to replace the bladder tank. BTW, a frequent cause of ruptured bladders is homeowners who think they need to inject air ocassionally ino the tank, as with the older system.
