If it doesn't leak down, you fixed it.
Check the air pressure once a month to make sure it maintains the right pressure, and your good to go.

Your lucky to have gotten half that long out of a plastic tank. The bag is bad and it will waterlog again soon. Well water steals the air out of the tank each pump cycle. That's what the bag does, keeps the water and air separated.

Eight years, the pump is soon to go also.

I have the same tank, and it started short cycling about 3 months ago. All this time I thought it was the sump pump making that noise, so I ignored it. My Bad! Any way, I will be following your example and hopefully have as much sucess as you did.
