Fabulous instruction and show of ingenuity. You are the neighbor I need here in Baja Sur, MX. You may not personally be here, but your experience and advice is. Thank you. My Mexican Plummer is having a hard time figuring out why our Flotec tank, looks just your own, realty goes on and off and on and off. I just lost the motor. Motor replaced the problem continues -- so now - after TH-cam University, I’m thinking it is a bladder problem. I know how to replace one now. Somehow I can’t talk my wife into purchasing a hi-low, so I suppose I will use our side x side. God bless you for sharing. Richard
Thanks! Watching your video has convinced me to just buy a new tank bite the bullet on the cost. Even if I can get that bladder which is in doubt it seems like a real pain in the ass dirty job to replace. I have the water worker 86 gallon tank right now that I put in in 2015 so I'm sure the bladder is due to fail. Right now it's working but I'm just planning ahead, but then again I'm 75 years old so maybe my sons will have to deal with it....... LOL
Great how to do it video lots of good tips. My two FlowTec tanks had some problems which I'm sure is my fault! Didnt check air pressure, one tank was waterlogged the other was empty. Both bladders were ruptured, because of not keeping track of the air pressure for a couple of years. Now I check every 6 months or so like clockwork. After 6 months both were down 5 PSI per tank. Ended up giving one tank to neighbor for a outdoor fireplace, the other I replaced the bladder. The problem is the tank will not hold air and is leaking around the bolt on base? Will have to pull it apart again to see why it is not sealing. In the meantime I replaced both with two new 86 gallon Water Worker diaphragm tanks, which are similar to my orignial Goulds tank which rusted below the diaphragm and started leaking. Still beats the heck out of the original non bladder steel tank that would get waterlogged every couple of months. I guess 10 years between tank changes isn't too bad. "CHECK THAT AIR PRESSURE"!
Excelente video, me ayudó mucho ya que pasé mucho trabajo extrayendo una membrana dañada de este tipo de tanque a presión, espero encontrar el repuesto ...👏👏👏👍👍👍
He did a great job showing how it's done . Great teacher .

Get yourself a Charlatte bladder tank Jim. You won't have to worry about corrosion or air leaks.
Would you please make a companion video for the tank prostate?
These bladders are discontinued now sadly. Just as soon as I needed mine replaced. I hope these homedepot water worker tanks last.
You got them Cheech and Chong up in smoke skills man 😅
I like this video a lot .
Have you looked inti a Cycle Stop Valve?
Any suggestions as to who sells replacement bladder membranes? Cleanflow does not have any.

Excellent video, very well organized! How long would you say the original bladders lasted?
THANK YOU
why not put a new fiberglass pressure tank in????
I’m here watching, because a friends fibglass pressure tank is dead after using it for 8 years.
Man hour wise……..is it worth it?
I wish all bladder tanks come with a forklift though
Nice sir
