Air in water pipes

[Tom]

I have air in my water lines. Could it be a ruptured bladder tank or is it something else. My pump was replaced in well a year ago. Water level was at 150 ft & well is 390 ft deep.

Air is always in water lines; fresh well water is usually about 5% air by volume. When you heat it making the bubbles larger or create places to settle, the air gathers. Some plumbers recommend a Hoffman Model 79 air vent at the gathering location.

We went on vacation for 2 weeks. We came home and discovered there was air in our water pipes? How do we fix this? Thank you for any assistance.

My water pipes make a noise that sounds like they will take off. The noise occurs usually when the water is not in use, but several times a day. What can I check to correct this problem?

[James McElroy]

I have a driven well. lately the water has been sputtering out / dropping out, and the pressure just plain sucks. How do I remedy this? how many problems am I looking at? Please help direct me to an answer. I want to have a little background before I call a plumer.

Thanks

Our water pipes seem to have air or somehting in them, they make a rattling nose and shake our

house off and on day and night. How do we take care of this problem?

Whenever we flush the pipe rattles and this just started two weeks ago. What do we do to stop/fix?

Air is passing through my water lines and spitting at the faucets. I have a submersible pump that pumps water through a water filter to a water tank with bladder and through a water softner to the spickets. I can hear a faint sound coming from the top of the filter, like air passing through. I have removed the filter but air is still in the lines. Can you help?

Recently installed a new hot water heater and have air in the hot water line that I can’t get rid of. Lots of it, takes about 30 seconds to a minute to get it all out after the system has been sitting for over 4 or 5 hours. Any ideas??
