It depends on what type of tank you have. Is it a precharged (with a bladder), or is it a standard galvanized (with check valve, snifter valve, air volume control, etc.), or is it a float tank (with float diaphram in the tank)?
If it"s a precharged, you shut off the pump, open a faucet to drain the system. Leave the faucet on while you check the air in the top of the tank. The pressure on top of tank should be 2-5 psi less than the cut-in pressure of the system (pump comes on at 30psi, 25-28psi in top of tank). When finished, turn the pump back on - you"re done.
A galvanized tank should take care of itself, if the drain valve in the well and the snifter valve is working. If not, then what you describe will work for a while, but you will have to do it every now and then.
If it"s a float tank, take my advice and THROW IT AWAY!!!! They were junk when they were first thought of, and they haven"t healed up any.
