Air infiltration, well, submersible pump, bladder tank
I have a shallow well with a submersible pump and a bladder pressure tank. Yesterday I noticed air coming out of the faucets, etc.. When I checked the plumbing around the pressure tank I could see the particle filter case was almost full of air. I have clear braided hose on both the feed to the tank tee from the well and the link between the tee and the filter. When the pump cycles I can see no bubbles or evidence of surging on the well side but very obvious bubbles between the tee and the filter.
Is it possible that the bladder in the pressure tank is failing and injecting air into the discharge, or is the air coming from the well, but dissolved enough that I can't see it?
