If the pump on a bladder tank runs frequently, you have low tank air pressure or a wrongly set pressure switch. If you've never played with the switch, then rule that out. - Let the tank empty of water with the pump switched off. When all water has ceased to flow, even out of the tank drain, then rock tank and see if you can detect water inside. If you can, then the bladder has become punctured and is letting water into the air side. You can fix this temporarily by attacjhing a compressor to the valve on top and inserting about 27 psi of air (while the tank is empty of water, or close to it) This will give you2-4 months of better usage, buut will soon deplete. - It's time for anew tank.

What is the purpose of the water bladder tank?
Water bladder tanks are tanks which contain a rubber bladder that is filled with either water or air. The majority of water bladder tanks have water-filled bladders. When a water faucet is turned on or a toilet is flushed, the water is piped in from the water tank. As the water pressure and air pressure get low, the contacts on the pressure switch click together. The pressure switch sends an electrical current to the water pump which causes the water pump to kick on and pipe water back into the water bladder tank. The amount of time it takes for the pressure switch to click on depends upon the size of the water bladder tank. The larger the water bladder tank, the longer it will be before the pressure switch starts to deliver electrical current to the water pump.

How do I get the water out of a Bladder Water Tank once it has been stored there?
You need to disconnect the tank and remove the nuts holding the flange in place. You could break the seal of the bladder and get the water out. The idea, though, is that you don't do those things unless the bladder is damaged.
