Buying a new (well water bladder) pressure tank

My tank leaks air pressure and when I add back air pressure then air squirts out of the faucets. Is the bladder shot?
Maybe. Maybe not.
How old is your tank? The older tanks, mine is 40 years old, have no
bladder. The phenomenon you are seeing is what happens when you pass
the threshold of the cut in pressure when charging the tank. That's
no big deal.
