So I'm looking to replace my old 120 gallon pressure tank with a new bladder tank probably with a CSV.
Currently, the tank has no air volume control. There is a check valve close to the well head with a snifter valve and a bleeder valve maybe 10 ft down the drop pipe. I'm not sure if the snifter valve is working. I have to add air to the tank a couple times a year.
Can I just remove the check valve with the snifter valve, and then replace the tank with a bladder tank? In other words, is it OK to leave the bleeder valve as I can't pull the pipe (350' 1 1/4" galvanized)?
Also, I should probably know this, but what's that thing on top of the well head?
