I'm changing out the water pressure tank, but I

Yes, should. I'd open a couple faucets, to drain



the pressure. Expect to get a little wet, no such



thing as perfect.







So, tell us why you're replacing the tank? might be



that's not your real problem.

The plumber said the diaphragm is broken in the tank we have. The pressure switch constantly flips on when water is run in the house. He wants $900.00 to replace it with an Amtrol WX203 32 Gal tank. I'm putting in a Flotec 35 Gallon instead.

If the tank is otherwise OK, I believe on some, if not all of them, you
can replace the diaphram/bladder.
