You can use the tank as it is on a temporary basis. You will have to
keep adding air periodically (about every 3 months). To add air, turn
pump off, open a faucet (on the same level if possible) then air up to
2 psi below your cut-in pressure.
Keep in mind that with a blow bladder you will have water trapped in
various places back of the bladder that can turn stagnant so I wouldn't
wait long to replace the tank.
Why do you think the bladder is blown? Just curious. There are
several things that can cause problems other than a blown bladder.
