    Air pockets
    I have a well,sediment filter,watersoftener and electric water heater.When I first turn on a sink,bowl, etc. I get some water then air then the water begins flowing OK. The worst time is the first flush or opening of a sink in the morning.If the water is running its not bad. Happens wth both cold and hot water. Please assist with ideas. Thanks

    At a glance it sounds like your check valve on your well pump is bad and it is letting water drain back into the well instead of maintaining a fully primed well line to the house resaulting in an air pocket in the line I would have that checked out first if that doesn't turn up anything it could possibly be the well pressure tank leaking by the bladder in the tank good luck hope this is helpful
