I replaced the pressure switch on my well tank, after doing so I had no water in the lines throughout the house. I did some research and the most likely problem was that the pressure tank was water logged. I hooked a compressor to the top of the pressure tank, blew air into it until all the water had discharged from an open spickett. This worked for the whole system except the line that I used, [kitchen sink], now I can't get water to come out of only this faucet. I also have low pressure on the spicketts outside of the house. Can anyone help me with this as I cannot afford a plumber right now.

For openers a bladder tank will not get water logged unless the membrane is ruptured, Aid any water come out of the air valve? If so replace the tank. It should be charged at 2 PSI UNDER the cut in point on the control box when the breaker's off and the pressure bled down by opening a cold water faucet.

now I can't get water to come out of only this fauce First remove the aerator and see if you have pressure. If not then shut the water off and remove the cartridge. Check the inlet ports for trash and blockage. Now place a pan over the faucet and turn the water on to flush out the supplies. Reassemble and test, Better now? Good luck, tom
