Inflate to 30 PSI, See if you can get air to come out
the water faucets (sign of leaking diaphragm).

Who knows? Might just be the tank needs reinflating.

That test will tell nothing unless he runs
the water dry after shutting off the
pump.



I'd think that inflating to 30 and open the faucets,
with the well pump turned off. Eventually, if the
tank diaphragm is ripped, you'd get air after a while.
Of course, might have to add more air, and then more
air. If the tank diaphram is intact, you'd eventually
run out of water.

The one I saw on the web was factory charged to
38 PSI, with no well system atached.
