Okay, so I have this setup at my house.

Today, the water pressure just dropped off to nothing. Then came back, but with air in the pipes. Now it has been doing that the entire day. I have also noticed that where the line comes in from my well, I hear the sound of water rushing through the pipes. This is not normal, and usually occurs when I loose pressure.

It is very weird, never seen or heard anything like it before. Could it be the pressure tank? I am putting links to a short video of my pressure pump and pipes with the sounds I mentioned.
