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
