Have had some low pressure problems lately and I just KNEW that damn air-cell in my tank had a leak. I looked the tank up online and it was surprisingly easy to replace so I decided to check it out today. Couldn't pull it out cause it was full of water. So I put it all back together and pulled the core from the schrader and turned the pump on for a few seconds to squeeze it from the inside. Once my fountain of water from the schrader stopped I drained the tank and filled it with 38PSI (I'm running 40/60). Now I know this won't last.... or will it??? I'm using one of those venturi type air injectors before this tank for my iron remover. This main tank feeds a second contact tank with an air-bleed on top. Since I'm constantly injecting air into my water before the main tank can I just cut that bladder off right below the schrader and use it hydro-pneumatic style? Seems to me it would work fine as long as I get a good initial air charge at the start. I can't even find a replacement air cell and have been kicking around a CSV setup for a while now anyway and hate to buy a new tank. I can't really see any reason it wouldn't work.
