I live in Central Florida, have a well so hard water and Iron. I also have a system to correct those issues.
Every couple months I turn off pump, open valve on pipe coming out of the tall tank and drain off the Iron settlement. This has always also drained the pressure tank on the left. Today when I drained them the water remained in the pressure tank. I removed the gauge that is next to the switch and did not get water out of it, I also tried shaking the tank. There was air in the bladder but I can't check or set the air pressure as the tank is full of water.
1. Is the tank bladder causing this or could the drain on the bottom of that tank be clogged?
2. The water comes out of a 1 1/4" thru the T that leads to system and then into the pressure tank, then back out to T, is that connected correctly?
Is there a better way to pipe everything. Been like this since 2008.
Thanks Everyone!

SOVLED... Once I cut the pipe and was able to get to the inlet I added air to the top and could feel and hear it coming out of the bottom. Broken bladder, replaced tank.
