How do you recharge a water logged pressure tank?

To recharge a waterlogged pressure tank, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the power to the water pump. This will prevent the pump from running dry and damaging itself.

2. Open a faucet in the house to relieve pressure in the water system. This will help to prevent the pressure tank from bursting when you begin to recharge it.

3. Locate the air valve on the pressure tank. The air valve is usually a small, brass fitting with a Schrader valve core.

4. Attach an air compressor to the air valve. Make sure that the air compressor is set to a low pressure, around 20-30 psi.

5. Slowly open the air valve and allow air to enter the pressure tank. The pressure in the tank will begin to rise.

6. Continue to add air until the pressure in the tank reaches the desired level. The desired pressure is typically around 30-50 psi.

7. Once the desired pressure is reached, close the air valve and disconnect the air compressor.

8. Turn the power back on to the water pump. The water pump will automatically begin to fill the pressure tank with water.

9. Once the pressure tank is full, the water pump will turn off. The water system is now ready to use.
