how can i tell if my old tank is water logged or the bladder is busted

If you check the pressure @ the Schrader valve with a tire pressure gauge & water comes out back end of tire gauge, Bladder is a gonner. Installed a Flowtech in late 2010, started to recycle at an increasing rate. Checked their website & saw an excellent video that explained things. Utilitech may have same. Got to replace mine again.
