I have two 200 gallon Well X trol bladder tanks on my well. They are 12 years old so I am probably on borrowed time. How hard is it to replace a bladder? The tanks are in good shape (outside) and I am fairly good with mechanical things. I can probably get the bladder through friends in the business and would rather not haul a new tank in from a distance. The well was setup for more than one house so with only me on it I figure I only need one tank. I don't even think one of the tanks has worked since I have been here (7 years). I figure I would cut this one loss, see if it has a bad bladder and if that is the case replace it while I am still using the other. I know I need to test things first (air pressure)and this will require draining the tanks but I figured that would be a good time to cut one loss and rebuild. What is the cost difference between the bladder and a new tank?
