Recharging the Bladder Tank
If the storage capacity of the tank is diminished significantly it is likely that the tank has lost its air charge. Recharging the
bladder tank will restore its capacity.
1. Put the dispenser faucet in the “open” position (lever in up position). Leave the faucet in the open position until the
procedure is completed.
2. Drain as much water as possible from the tank.
3. Hook up an air pump to the “Schrader” (tire) valve on the pressure tank and start pumping air into the tank.
4. Expel all the water from the tank.
5. Continue pumping air into the tank until the pressure reads 6 psi.
6. This completes the procedure.
NOTE: Should this procedure fail to restore the capacity of the tank, it is very likely that the bladder in the tank is
ruptured and the tank needs to be replaced.
