My well tank is 19 years old and while I have checked it a few times over the life it is time to do it again. So check my thinking for me.
While under pressure release some air.
If it is pure air with no water I can assume the baffling is good.
Now turn off pump and drain water pressure.
Now adjust air pressure to 2 lbs below cut on pressure of pump.
Let sit 15 minutes and check again to make sure pressure is holding.
Turn pump back on and check and adjust cut on and off pressure.
Does that sound about right???
