There is no air in groundwater. If there is air in your well water lines then either your pump or foot valve is at static water level and sometimes sucks air, - or there is a small leak in the pipe which will both admit air and leak water, depending on pressure. If you are using a Jet-pump at a well shed, air leaks are quite common. Most people do not know how to properly attach water pipes to fittings. It is also possible that the down pipe into the well has vertical cracks. This too is common certain kinds of pipe.

How does air get in well water pipes?
this is most common down towards the bottom of the well. the pipe well casing could have even just a pin hole from corrosion to small for water to get through but just enough for air to get in. this would when the water flows it would cause a vacuum to come into the pipe allowing air into it. The result of this would give you a milky color water. To test if it is air just fill a glass or vial or any container really and put water in it and let it sit. if the milky color doesn't disappear then it is not air. To fix you would most likely have to replace the well casing or the pipes attached to the pump.
What would happen if the air in the upper atmosphere were warmer than the water vapor that was continued in the air?
If the air in the in the upper atmosphere were warmer than the water vapor that was continued in the air would make the earth colder in the air.
Why is water pressure stronger than air pressure?
Think of it this way, if you had a plastic bottle filled with water and you poked a hole in the side, would water squirt out or would air squirt in? If air squirted in, then the air pressure would have to be higher. But since we know that the water would squirt out, we know that the water's pressure must be stronger. Of course, this is under normal conditions. If you pumped the air pressure up enough, then the air pressure may become stronger than standard water pressure. So actually, water pressure is generally stronger than air pressure.
What happens when you cool air?
The air particles would get denser and the air would sink. If you cool it enough the water vapor in the air might freeze.
How is water vapour responsible for global warming?
Water in the air doesn't heat the air up. Water in the air moderates temperatures. It tends to make daytime temperatures cooler and nighttime temperatures warmer than they would be in drier air.
Air in water lines from private well?
natural gas?
If you have well water would a crack in the PVC pipes cause air in the pipes?
Any break or leak on the suction side of your pump can cause air in the lines.
What happens if the snifter valve goes bad on the well system?
I think that is what caused my water lines to have too much air in the water
Why would just the upstairs faucets sputter when first turned on?
Air in the water lines to the upstairs. Not enough water pressure.
What makes water sputter come out of your faucets when a toilet flushes?
Excessive air unsepararted in the supply lines collects at your fixtures. Contact your water supplier about the problem. If you are on a privte well, there are devices which remove this air entrainment. yepper...air in your pipes...Private well?
How do you remove air from water lines?
Install hammer arrestors at the highest point of the water lines.
How do you remove air in water lines?
air in water lines usally accur when the water in turned off for some reason,just let the water run in a tub for 5 min. air in water lines that make your pipe rumble, you need air chamber installed. its called water hammer turn of all hot faucets and run till air stops coming out and steady stream of water comes out.
Why does your water flow in spurts occasionally especially your outside spigot if your well is fairly new and your air tank has good pressure?
Its just air in the lines, nothing serious...
What is the purpose of an air chamber in a water line?
To remove and/or prevent "Water Hammering" in your water lines.
Would having air in one's pipes cause a reduction in hot water pressure when taking a shower?
== Answer== I don't think so, but get the air out of lines to make sure.

After turning off the water and drain the lines while installing a water heater why would some of the lines not refill with water tried both open and closed taps?
sounds like you got air in the pipes. need to push that air out by opening a joint outside and expelling it that way or by reverse pressure using a mixer.
