An inflatable packer assembly features a pump and a piping network configurable to add fluid or remove fluid from the inflatable. Sensor can detect borehole variables and transmit readings to a remote location. Commands can be sent from the remote location to a borehole controller to configure the piping system for addition or removal of fluid from the inflatable to a desired level. A power source can power the pump and automatic valves to configure the system for addition or removal of fluid. Control from a remote location can be manual or automatic based on algorithms loaded on a processor that can be remotely locally located by the inflatable. A reservoir with clean fluid that is in pressure balance with borehole fluids can be used with a fluid separation device between clean and well fluids. Well fluids can be screened before being delivered to the inflatable.
