Typically, the original factory charge is nitrogen (because it's inert). After the tank leaks down a little, most times it gets recharged with compressed air (because it's easily available). Sta-Rite Industries manufactures water pressure tanks for residential use. Here is an owners manual for one of their bladder type tanks and one of their air over water tanks. The modern air over water tanks regulate the volume of air in the tank using an "air volume control" or AVC (I don't have any knowledge of older tanks). The manual for the bladder type tank explains how to check the pressure switch and how to charge the tank. I've no connection with Sta-Rite(other than the pressure tank in my basement). I've done this with my own tank (after the bladder failed) -- it's not hard to do. They'll sell parts directly to you by mail, too.
