mkshawn Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Our 14 yr old Pressure tank has just failed, assuming a burst Bladder? Any one with any experience locally is appreciated. Am aware of a supplier in the Lourdes area of Chapala, then there's Casa des Plumares (sp) in west Ajijic Edited October 18, 2022 by mkshawn Clarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 You can put a new bladder in your old tank. Unless, of course, you want a new tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 It depends on the tank. Not all have bladders that are replaceable. It's also possible that it has a diaphragm and not a bladder so it may just require air to be added (valve is at the top of the tank).

Ferret Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Tried to edit the above and couldn't. You may just need to add air to the bladder style tank as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkshawn Posted October 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Thanks to all who offered their advice. It's in the hands of our property manager as we are just departing for Chapala. Hopefully we can get a new tank or at least a temporary one till a new one is available. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
