There is probably water in the bladder.
If so, consider changing it.
To remove the water, remove the valve. It is unscrewed.
Then start the pump. Water should
get out of the bladder. Switch off the pump, put the
valve, open a valve and put the bladder under
pressure (1.5 bars, I believe, it should be indicated on
the ball ) . R
ePut the pump on.
It will last as long as it lasts.

Hello Mamar!


Before inflating your balloon you must completely empty the water and the pressure inside, then you put between 60 and 70% of air pressure of the operating pressure of the water, the rubber membrane or urethane must be stuck on your valve and block the entry of compressed air and that is why you cannot add air to it.

It is not normal that you have to inflate your balloon every year, your valve must leak but you can put a better quality valve cap with a tight seal which will limit leaks.

From what you say I do not think the membrane is pierced otherwise by pressing the valve you would bring out the water which does not seem to be the case.

I emptied the balloon besides there was nothing and how I take off the menbrane from the valve with the pressure of the compressor it did nothing.
60 70% air pressure of water operating pressure ??? that is to say
the balloon mano is set to min 2bars1 / 2 I think and maxi 4
Thank you again for your help

Hello everyone
the bladder may be stuck with rust in the balloon
in this case you probably have a turntable that you can dismantle
to remove the bladder from the walls, hoping it is empty!
anyway expect you to have to change the ball : Cry:

Problem that has nothing to do with the bladder, it is the non-return valve (generally upstream of the pump at the strainer) which is blocked or not waterproof.
