went out to feed yesterday and noticed waterers were dry. went down to pump house and pump wasnt running. breaker on. gave preasure switch slap and pump started. took while but preasured up. but then continued kicking on and off. 3 lines out of manafold so isolated it to one line that must have leak. check at waterer no visable leaks so figured must leak under ground some where but thats a diff problem. shut off that line for night. 2 other waterers on diff line. took small compressor down to pump house this morn and tried preasuring up bladder. dont seem to make no diff with that line open pump kick on off constant. shut line and went to diff waterer and set float so leaked. pump acts same constant off and on. tried more air in tank but not helping. tire gauge doesnt read nothing no matter how much air i pump in even with all valves on mamafold closed. what do you guys think?? bladder broke?? keep pumping more air for awhile, what kind preasure should be on air side of tank? what kind volume would that be on a approx ten gallon tank?? any suggestion to be sure bladder has hole before buying new tank or bladder and changing out?
