Hello all -so glad I found this site... I have 30 year old dual tank system (Aqua- Air v250) I'm a single family residence but also have a pool and guest house; just myself and my son currently, so usage is not extreme.. installed new pump at 380' about 5 years ago. So, as I said in title, had a pretty sudden pressure drop at kitchen faucet. I first checked electrical thinking a current rain/wind storm had caused a gfi trip or something - breaker at main, breaker at pump/well head and pressure switch everything was/is getting amps. My pressure gauge however had dropped from its usual ~ 50-ish psi down to 20. I manually toggled the pressure switch and can hear water movement. I used 220 grit sand paper and cleaned the contactors then I bled the tanks and pulled both valve stems to start from scratch which was registering as 10 psi on the inline gauge but using a gauge on tanks showed 0 psi, repressured to 52psi turned breaker back on and tanks filled to ~20 psi again.... no more.
