My house is about 7 years old. My pressure tank is a Goulds V100. A 31.8 gallon tank. Bladder is shot. Top of tank is full of water. I called around and found a plumber that has my exact tank sitting in his shop. Said he would sell it to me 'under table' for $240.
Another supplier stopped carrying Goulds but has a Champion of equivalent size for $198. Lowes has one called Well Saver on there web site for $212. When I called the store they called it a Utilitech brand. It's late now and I am running out of time.

Is the one from Lowes junk or does it really matter? I can run in now and pick it up.
Also the plumber told me when you change the tank the T, the pressure switch, and the gauge should all be changed. Sounds like a way to put more money in his pocket to me. Any thoughts on replacing anything else? Originally Posted By SUPERSPORT: The top end is full of water. There is at least a hole in the bladder, don't know how big.

Plus I may try and if the hole is big enough it wont work anyway. BTW, the Lowes tank is fatter than mine and I would have to do some extra plumbing to make it fit. Guess that's not happening tonight. If the bladder tank is holed, it's history, don't even bother to try to add air. It'll be fine for a day or two, it'll just kick on every time someone uses the water. Wouldn't run it like that for very long but a day or two.it'll be fine. I was having my system refurbished over the last two days.
I went from a Well X Trol 201 (14 gal) to a 203 (32gal), My old tank was about 16 years old and rusting out. The cost for the new tank was a little over $200.00.
I went with a new T package as well. I figured I may as well do everything at once and avoid a repeat of labor later. I had the iron filter relined and some of the plumbing re routed as well. The system runs much better now and my pressure went up noticeably.
Probably because the iron filter is flowing better. FWIW, my plumber is a friend and is trust worthy. He wouldn't sell me something I don't need.

Water pressure tank air pressure adjustment: How to check & then adjust or set the air pressure in a water tank using an internal bladder: This article describes how to determine the proper air pressure setting in a bladder-type well tank, when, and how to actually change the air pressure in the water tank.

We explain how to determine the proper air charge for water pressure tank and how to adjust the actual tank air pressure to that number. We detail how to fine tune the water pressure tank air charge to match the pump pressure control switch settings.
