    Air in tank

    So I bought a drummond shallow well pump and 5 gal tank. The directions say the tanks bladder has been pressurized to 23 psi. Can I safely add air to make it 28 psi or is 23 psi the limit. Like most directions now a days they are really vague and don't tell you much. Thank you.
