Signs of pressure tank failure
Pump clicks on and off every few seconds. Pressure gauge jumps narrow bands. Water hammer at fixtures. Tank feels heavy or solid at the drain—bladder may be waterlogged. Visible rust or leaks at tank tee fittings.
Repair vs. tank replacement
Some older steel tanks can be recharged with air; most modern bladder tanks replace as a unit when bladders fail. Upsizing tank volume reduces cycle frequency on homes with long pump run requirements in Marana acreage.
