Depends on what you consider better? If a bladder fails you need to rush out and get a new one if a galvanized tank gets floooded you can drain it and your back in business

How can you melt a galvanized nail?
well galvanized metal is nothing more than zinc coated steel. Zinc melts at 787.1 F and steel melts at roughly 1200 F depending on the quality of the steel. So yes you can melt a galvanized nail.
Are galvanized pipes better for your home's external piping than PVC pipes?
Yes, the reason for this is PVC pipes do not last as long and galvanised piping can survive in any kind of weather climate. Depends.. Water quality, sun exposure, climate and flow rates
Galvanized iron is coated with what metal?
Galvanized iron is iron coated with a thin layer of zinc...the reason for this is the the zinc is oxidizes easier than the iron so even if the layer of zinc is broken the zinc will oxidize before the iron......

What applications that use black iron pipe rather than galvanized iron pipe?
Black iron pipe is used for gas installations but ONLY if the piping is indoors. Outdoor gas piping is usually done in galvanized pipe. Steam is also piped with black pipe, fire sprinkler and standpipe systems also use black pipe.
What is main difference between silo and tank?
when height & Dia ratio is less than 1 that is tank otherwise silo
Is galvanized steel or PVC better for plumbing for a bathroom sink?
Galvanized steel is better for plumbing in a bathroom sink. It lasts a lot longer than PVC.
Which is better for a 250 foot zip line stainless steel or galvanized cable?
Stainless steel is much better than galvanized for use as a zip-line.
Is a bladderless water pressure tank better than a bladder tank?
I would be curious to know the answer to this question also so I hope someone who knows something about the subject answers soon.
How do you recharge water air tank?
You have to replace the tankANS 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.
Is galvanized material better than zinc?
It depends on what you want to do with it. Galvanisation usually involves zinc anyway.
What pressure should you use in the pressure tank if the cut in pressure is 25 psi?
If it's a bladder tank, use two pounds less than the cut in pressure.
Should a bladder tank be changed with a well pump?
NO. They are separate parts of the system and if the bladder tank is in good shape there is no need to change it. Greedy well companies will often try this on, as they are in the business of making money and generally their ethics are somwhat lower than a shark's.
Is zinc fence stronger than Galvanized fence?
Zinc is the coating on the steel that makes it galvanized.
Would changing the size of your bladder tank increase water pressure?
Not necessarily. Most bladder tanks will work up to 80 PSI and most homes on well systems don't go higher than 60 PSI. If your bladder tank, pump and pressure switch are all in good shape then you can raise the pressure easily by adjusting the pressure switch and pumping more air into the tank. tank should have 28 or 38 psi residual air - pressure switch 'on' should be 2 PSI higher than tank. - If your pressure has been getting lower, then it's possible the bladder is losing air. If this is the case you can pump air in to help temporarily till a new tank is fitted.
How do you adjust air in a bladder tank?
Turn off the pump, open a faucet and let all the pressure out of the system. Using a tire gauge, check the pressure in the bladder tank. Add or subtract air to make the tanks pressure two pounds less than the turn on pressure of the pump.
Why is my well pump short cycling?
Sounds like you have a "water logged " ptressure tank. Switch pump off and drain water almost to bottom, then check air pressure at top nipple. if it's less than 20 psi or so, that's your problem. Try pumping it at the top with a small compressor. Put 30 psi in then turn on pump and see if it's better. If it's a bladder tank there are possibly pin holes in bladder.
How do you get more water pressure with well water when you have more than faucet running?
The water pressure is controlled by your pressure switch and the tank residual air. If there is less or low pressure with more than one faucet do a test. 1. switch off the pump. 2 drain the tank through regular faucet, then measure air pressure on nipple at top of tank, if it is less than 26-28 psi that is your problem and may mean the bladder is shot. It can be recharged with a small compressor to 26-28 psi. but this will only last a few weeks if bladder is faulty.The water pressure is controlled by your pressure switch and the tank residual air.
