Have a well pump, pump was cycling on and off whenever water was used. So after some research I drained the pressure tank and refilled with 22 psi as 3 psi below the cut-on for the pressure switch on the pump, about 25 low to 45 high. Now, Im not 100 percent sure what I have for the tank, as the schraeder valve is in the center of the tank, and spits water if depressed. Which kind of leads me to think it's a bladder tank with a waterlogged bladder. But, Im told that even if the bladder is bad the tank should still provide decent pressure as just a pressure tank. Now the pump doesnt run every time the water is used, but takes longer to fill the tank, and my water pressure still is very poor. Will a new bladder tank solve my problem ? Thanks !
