Just today we had a company come out to work on a home we just purchased that has a neww bladder tank, they said it should be at 38p.s.i.Answerpre charge is set at aprox 15 lbs P.S.I. Set well pressure at 55 to 60 lbs AnswerA better rule of thumb is the pump cut-in pressure minus 2 psi.

ANS 4 -Factory pre charge on almost all bladder tanks is 45 psi. So you almost always have to reduce it (via the nipple on top) - Average home pressure switches are set at 30 /50 The tank residual pressure ( pre charge) should always be 2 psi lower than this. - Larger homes, or those that need a lot of garden hoses should have a 40/60 pressure switch. In this case tank air pressure should be 38 psi. - - Well Technician.

How much air should be put in a deep well bladder tank?

The air charge in a bladder tank should be 2 PSI below the pressure switch ON setting. In other words if the pressure switch is a 30-50, then the tank air should be 28. -If the pressure switch is the higher 40-60, then the tank air is 38. These tanks are all charged at the top and you can check air pressure there also.

How do you inflate a rubber ball?

If it is a solid rubber ball it is not inflated. A hollow ball can be inflated. The more pressure inside, the "harder" the ball will be and the higher it will bounce. To much pressure and you risk rupturing the "rubber" bladder.
