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.

I have been inflating it every few days to keep the pump from running too much. The current tank is welded shut, so no chance of fixing the bladder/diaphragm. In any case, I've already bought the tank. It's on my porch, ready for action.
