Well water pressure issue,
My water seems to have a lot of air in it (new) and after a short period spurts and sputters. My pump and well have been checked out OK. How would I know if this is a pressure tank issue?

Hi Don,

A pressure tank won't interject air into your line. That's on the pressure side of the system. Air and bubbles get into the system on the suction side.
"My pump and well have been checked out ok."
I think your people missed something when they checked out your system.
Example; When the pump starts to pump to pressure if the water table is low then after the leval gets low enough the pump will "suck air" and give you the symtems you describe or a small leak in the suction side would let air enter the line. You need to have some more checking done. Good luck. Tom

Tom,
Thanks for your reply about my water pressure issue. You said to check it out further. Would a ruptured bladder in the pressure tank cause my faucet to spurt, and air in the water?

NO. A ruptured bladder woiuld cause your pump to run every time you drew a glass of water.. regards, Tom
