If you are getting any water at all blowing out the pressure valve, the bladder is busted. Harry K

Pressure gage is immediately after pump. I have a photo of it here:
At the cottage I drain system in winter & startup in spring. One year pressure came up to normal pump stopped & then pressure started to drop right away. After a little frustration I found my pump has a valve that directions say open until pump pumping water & then close until flow looks normal? Well I had closed it all the way. This was my probem. after opening the valve, pump started to work properly. I have no idea what this thing is for but I leave it open all the time & pump works great.
