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.

How do you know if a bladder tank is bad?
Switch off the pump and let water out of the tank at nearest tap (preferably the drain tap on tank) When pressure is at zero on water gauge, measure the pressure on the nipple on tank top. It should read above 28 psi on most systems, if so your bladder is good. If pressure at that nipple is very low, or zero, then your bladder is shot. - In theory, any bladder can be changed (and I have done many) -but unless the tank is a large one (over 90 gallons) then it is not economical.
How do you bleed a bladder tank?
bleed the air tank by pushing down on the air stem, remove the pressure from the water tank,add correct amount of air to bladder, then start pump.
Will water leak out of a bladder pressure tank when it fails?
If tank has rusted through, tank will leak. If bladder goes bad, tank should not leak.
How do you put pressure in a well bladder tank step by step please. Should the pump be on or off?
There's usually "tire-type" air valve on top of the tank (sometimes concealed by a plastic cap) YOU MUST BE VERY CAREFUL OR YOU CAN RUPTURE THE BLADDER.
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 you change fuel pump 2004 olds alero?
The fuel pump is located inside of the fuel tank. The tank has to be removed, then the pump can be changed though access on the top of the tank.
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.
Where is the fuel pump on a 1989 Chevy Caprice classic?
I have a 89 Chevy caprice. When I had my fuel pump changed, they had to drop the tank...it was in the tank.

When a well pump comes on and off very quickley this is?
You need a new bladder tank. The short cycle indicates the bladder is broken, and this condition is not repairable.
Will it hurt to replace a regular galvanized water holding tank with a bladder filled one?
bladder tanks are much better for the pump and will be fine as a replacement.
What would cause tank to have good pressure but not allow water to flow through the house?
If it's a bladder tank, it should always have "Air" pressure but if the pump isn't working, you still wouldn't have water in the house.
