I find I can only take about 1/2 the blade width or I lose a small windrow off the forward side.

It’s an old bladder tank for a well water plumbing system. @Maxwell-8 I’ imagine your systems are similar too, but any system from a well has a check valve and the bladder is used to take up expansion and contraction in the plumbing from heating of the water, fast pressure drops, etc. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
