The plumber said the diaphragm is broken in the

tank we have. The pressure switch constantly flips

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.


I'd first try to reinflate, and see if the bladder is
still there. Might be just a couple minutes with air
compressor could get by for the next year or more.
