I would be curious to know the answer to this question also so I hope someone who knows something about the subject answers soon.
Shut the water supply to it and drain it.
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.

Bladder water tanks contain a rubber bladder from which the water is used. As the water pressure goes down it turns on a switch which causes the water bladder to be refilled from the attached well.

Mine came new with air pressure in the bladder & no water in the unit so I would assume that you would pressurize the bladder with no water in the unit . Hope this helps .
Water expands when it is heated, this expansion increases the pressure. The bladder tank absorbs the extra pressure, protecting the hot water heater.
Install air bladder.
Defective bladder / low pressure inside the tank
The purpose of a water pressure bladder tank in a residential plumbing system is to maintain consistent water pressure by storing and releasing water as needed, helping to prevent the pump from turning on and off frequently.
The purpose of the bladder in a well pump system is to store water under pressure, allowing for consistent water flow and maintaining the system's pressure levels.
The recommended amount of air pressure in a bladder tank is typically around 2 psi below the cut-in pressure of the water pump.
The "bladder" in a bladder water tank is typically made using a durable, puncture resistant fabric that is made to withstand pressure and prevent the pillow from popping.
