I have checked all my pipes going in and out from my tank. Water is all around my bladder tank when it is filling up. After morning showers floor is wet around it, come home in afternoon floor is dry as a bone. Where could it be leaking from? Is it a 2 piece tank?
Tank spec's
Submersible pump
Berkeley pump co.
75 psi
82 gal
Tank probably 20 years old

Thanks
Eddie

Where is that tank physically with respect to the shower?

The tank would always be under pressure so if it leaks when you take a shower it would leak all the time. My guess is that the tank is sweating because the water is cold. When it has time to sit, it warms up a little and stops sweating.
