Hi there,

We gutted a 140 year old fieldstone farmhouse because it wasn't taken care of for a while, we replaced almost everything except for anything to do with the well which was in good shape and we kept the pressure tank. We had all the plumbing replaced. When the plumbers were done, we told them there was air in the lines. They said it had to be the hot water tank (we didn't replace it). We tried draining the tank etc. but do to so much iron through the years, we decided to replace the hot water tank. This took care of the iron but not the air problem. The utility company rechecked the tank and said that the air is not coming from the hot water tank. Any ideas? There is air in both hot and cold but more in the hot water. More in the morning but also throughout the day. Could this be coming from the pressure tank? We have a bunch of water cleaning systems including a water softener, iron extractor, sediment filter and UV. We also have a Reverse Osmosis system for the drinking water. These are all new and aren't causing the air. We've been struggling with this problem for a while. Any ideas? [img]/forums/images/icons/confused.gif[/img] Calling the old plumbers is not an option as we weren't too happy about the way they tended to want to shortcut everything [img]/forums/images/icons/mad.gif[/img] This is the first time we've dealt with a pressure tank and well so we don't know much about them.

Thanks.
