Well/Holding tank loosing pressure.
Yesterday was the first I noticed this but my holding tank is loosing pressure while no spigot for water is open. There are no water or air leaks that I can find. The PSI drops pretty quick and will go all the way to 0.

Pump is a 3/4 HP submersible and my holding tank is a big galvanized one, probably around 50-75 gallons. A couple years ago I installed a schroeder valve so I can pump air into the tank which helped reduce the cycling a lot.

I guess I am lost, the pump is still pumping...I even cut power to the pump coils, no spigots open and the PSI still drops. Does this mean the well is getting dry?
