Good Morning. I just moved in to a home on a well for the first time. We've been there about a month with no issues. This morning (colder than normal, frost on the ground, not typical for this area) the water pressure was fine while I brushed my teeth, but about 5 minutes later, my wife was trying to fill a cup with water and we had very little water pressure. I checked other faucets to make sure it wasn't just that one, but pressure had dropped across the entire system. I walked out to the well tank and discovered that the Penn F93B-1 Air Volume Control was bleeding air from the air valve, and the pressure in the tank (according the gauge) had dropped significantly. I did not note any other abnormalities at the well tank.

This is all new to me. What is going on here? What needs to be fixed? Thank you in advance for any and all assistance!

I just got home from work and the tank is showing 50 PSI and no leaks. Everything seems to be fine. Is there a chance that the freezing weather this morning caused a seal or something to be loose?
