    Default Plumber kinda question

    Changed the water pressure pump switch because it kept sticking in the "on" position. I let the water out of the lines so swap out the switch, and my "helper" let all the air out of the blue water pressure tank. Can I just add air back into it using an air compressor? Because I did that and the pressure pump seems to cycle on even more than ever now. Do I need to buy a new pressurized tank or can I just refill the old one using the Schrader valve on the top?

    Yes you can refill the bladder side of the tank with an air chuck. Usually just set it a couple PSI below the cut on pressure for the pressure switch. Set the pressure with the tank empty.
