Bladder Tank Question


Hey guys, well as I am not a plumber when it comes to my house and the economy I had to change my bladder tank. It is only 4yo as the date code is 04-05. I got it replaced with a brand new one from the plumbing supply house that I get the plumbing stuff at for my plumbers. I bought a new am-trol 20gal. The one I had was 21gal Top-Protector brand. I was informed by my salesman he had never heard of the brand but all bladder tanks had to have a minimum of a 5yr limited warranty. The only problem is I cant find where the bladder tank may have come from. I searched online and no reference to this brand name and my salesman at Ferguson has no idea. So my main question is --- Is there by any chance some plumbing supply houses can get a cheaper bladder tank and just slap a sticker on it? I am listing all the information I have gotten off of it maybe someone can help. Not so much am I trying to get my money back I just want to see if the problem--a hole rusted in the bottom by the inlet/outlet would be covered by warranty. Thanks in advance guys!!

Top-Protector
Model - DWT-80V
21 Gal
30 PSI
125 PSI Max Pressure
200 F max working Temp
04-05 date code.

I will post a picture in just a few minutes, although its blue just like the am-trol one.

I even searched the forums for an answer. I have already downloaded the warranty claim form and I will call a representative in the morning. I am not a distributor, nor do I know who the distributor was. They replace them under warranty claims now tank for tank which is fine w/ me. I already replaced it so maybe I could sell the new one. Thanks guys for all your help!!!
