hi, i just bought a house and the tank had no air in it. the house has been empty for 5 years and built in 1965 and not used and i have little to no experience with wells. So i tried to fill the tank up with 28psi with the tank full and it seemed to hold but after checking it after a week, it was down to 22psi. so i was told to empty the tank and fill it that way and so after i reached 28psi(empty) i turned the pump on it the switch went crazy and no water. so i let some air out and it started running again and now the pump runs more often. this is a 20 gallon pressure tank. So is the pressure tank bad?
