You have to replace the tank

ANS 2 - It depends on the size and make of the tank. Smaller than 33 gallon are not possible to replace. If it's larger than about 40 gallon, most can be replaced through the baseplate. -Over 60 gallons, all that I've seen are replaceable through the baseplate.

Can a water pressure tank be repaired if the bladder no longer holds the air?

Depending on the condition of the bladder tank sometimes you can add more air to it for a temporary fix, but ultimately you will have to replace it. Press in the air valve on top to see if any water comes out, if so then the bladder is water logged. Depending on the tank, the bladder can sometimes be removed and replaced. The bladder is about a third the cost of a new tank. A temporary fix would be to add air pressure. Unfortunately, air is quite soluble in water, so it will eventually be dissolved away. Well, a water tank doesn't *need* a bladder, assuming the inlet/outlet for the water is on the bottom of the tank. You can charge the tank with air, and it will work. Eventually, the air charge will run out and you will have to recharge it. The house I grew up in had a bladderless water tank and it was my job to recharge it every six months. The house I live in now has a irrigation system that uses an old water heater as a storage tank. This is how I charge them: 1) Let the others in the house know aht you're doing. 2) Shut off power to the well. 3) If you have a valve to shut off the rest of the house from the tank close it. 4) Drain all the water out of the tank. 5) Close all the faucets in the system. 6) Charge the system with air up to the preset value. 2psi below pump cut-in is a happy value, if you don't have a number from your manufacturer. 7) Turn the pump on. It should fill the tank normally. 8) Turn water back on to the house. Eventually the air charge will be absorbed into the water. As I mentioned above, a bladder isn't necessairy, it just prevents you from needing to recharge the system every few months. If you have a large tank, rent an air compressor. I can tell you first-hand pumping up a 40 gallon tank with a bicycle pump sucks. Some tanks have replaceable bladder and some don't. Check with the manufacter to find out. Adding air to a failed badder tank will get you by but I have seen the bladder sag to the bottom of the tank and close off the inlet on the tank.

How much water to put in a water softener brine tank?

Modern water softeners automatically put water into the brine tank at the end of each regeneration. This water sits in the brine tank and dissolves some of the salt to create a very salty liquid called brine. This brine is sucked back into the water softener main tank during the next regeneration. The brine is used to "recharge" (sometimes called "regenerate") the water softener main tank. After the recharge, the softener can soften a set amount of water before it needs to be recharged again. Depending upon the size of the water softener, it can take between 2 and 8 gallons of brine per recharge. On most water softeners you can set the salt "dosage". Dosage is usually set in "lbs of salt". Each gallon of water will dissolve around 3 lbs of salt so if you set a dosage of 9 lbs, the softener will automatically add around 3 gallons of water to the brine tank after each regeneration.
