    Air in pipes
    Hello, Hopefully someone will be able to answer this for me. My house is still using a pump for well water. I have been using this for the past 10 years with no problems, but within the past 3 weeks, there seems to be air trapped somewhere in the system. I had to replace the "Blue Tank" when it was bent downwards. Since then when I turn faucets on you can not only hear the air being forced out , but hear it as well. This occurs every time water is turned on. Secondly, my house is heated by Baseboards which use natural gas & hot water, so this seems to be affected also. What options do I have to release air?

    When you have air in your lines from a pump it could come from several sources.
    1) A small hole in the suction line coming up from the well.
    2) A submersible pump that's cavatating or a sutface pump the bthe water table has fallen and it's sucking air.
    You need a pump man to narrow it down. Good luck. Tom
