We had an issue where an outside hose was left on, that may have leaked a small amount, and overnight, it's very possible that it was the cause, but regardless, something drained the well dry overnight (after a long spell of very dry weather). So no water this morning, but after several hours the pump is still not able to get the pressure to the high end of the 40/60 switch so just runs and runs until turned off at the breaker. Also, we do have a bit of intermittent air coming out the faucets from time to time. This has been true for a long time, but it's very inconsistent, not that common. We can't find any wet spots near the well casing. If perhaps there's a leak in the casing, it may be that it's far enough down that we only experienced the air during dry spells. Unfortunately did not pay enough attention to this before! Also, not sure if the pump fully survived this experience since it went dry overnight. We'll let the well try to recharge for some more hours but it's looking more like a professional might need calling at some point. What things could we look for to tell them, or help diagnose? There is no pressure loss to the tank with the pump breaker off. But, there's a check valve on the line that feeds the pressure tank, so perhaps this won't tell us if there's a leak in the casing itself. Thank you very much!

Installing a water softener and don't have a ready-made drain. Next to my water supply line there is a main drain stack that Ys into the floor with a clean out. I could cut the stack and install a drain into that, but I was wondering if I can extend up off the clean out with a sanitary T and then install a drain off of that with appropriate traps and air gap.
