40 year old bladder tank, I think is about 80 gallon, for well water. When I turn off the pump and let the tank drain via a faucet, as the pressure drops to about 20psi (from 50), the water coming out of the faucet will all of a sudden stop. I figure the diaphragm is collapsing on itself. I rock the tank and hear water sloshing around. I bleed the air out some, no water vapor.
I figure the tank is shot. Does the big box stores sell decent tanks? I don't need something that will last another 40 years.
