You are incorrect. A Bladderless Pressure tank is not common but they do

a pressure relief system. The pump is designed to push air into the

to a certain level the pressure is suppose to be released. I am having the
same issue and can't find this relief valve anywhere.

That's an example of what I was talking about.





There are always air bleed valves.

Which are used to burp systems to get all the air out, air that should
not be there. Not for water pump tanks. I suppose there could be
systems that always draw some air in on the suction side, then use
an air volume control on the tank to let out the excess. But that would
be less efficient and I've never seen one.
