Trying to find information on a Airpot. Tank is not a bladder tank.

It's an open steel tank. Airpot is used to regulate the amount of air & water.

Been all over the net & no information on anything but bladder tanks & parts.

Here's a thread on the subject:

I suggest you google "bladderless water tanks" or "bladderless water pressure tanks". FWIW, we had a bladderless tank when we had our house built, and it lasted about a year before it rusted out...and it was a huge tank; I'm guessing over 50 gallons. I haven't had anything but a bladder tank since, they usually 10 years or more.

Mine was installed in either 1993 or 1996, still going strong.

Couple different types, a float valve inserted in the side of the tank, snifter valve that injects a bit of air every time the pump starts.

I'm with others, install a bladderless.
