Is it possible to repair the rubber membrane in a well pressure tank? I noticed a significant drop in the pressure of the water coming out of my faucets in my house. At first, I was not sure of the problem. I thought it was possible that some debris may have gotten into a line, causing a disruption in the flow of the water, but I checked all of the indicators on the control box, and this does not seem to be the issue that is causing the concern. Then I learned of a great way to test the pressure tank. You can tap on the tank with your knuckles and listen to the sounds that it makes. The top of the tank should produce a hollow sound as it is filled with air, and the bottom should produce a thud sound. I checked the bottom, and it gave a nice thud, but when knocking on the top portion, it also gave a thud.
