So a few days ago the pressure tank on my well pump sprung a leak. I replaced it with pic-related. Everything was fine at first, but after sitting for about half a day or so my water has taken a kind of plastic-y/soapy taste. It's still crystal clear.

I am assuming this is due to the bladder and newness of the tank and it'll go away after some time. Do any anons have experience on how long it'll take? It's not the most foul thing in the world, but definitely not something I'm going to cook in or drink if I can help it.

does it tell you not for drinking water?
if not just keep using it. a trick will be to turn off the pump and totally empty the tank, preferably through the hot water tank because that store and amply some of the smell/taste. then start pump and fill it up again. repeat untill taste is gone or stop being so picky.

Why are you guys using plastic?
Just use steel containers. Less microplastics
