How can air get into water pipes water is supplied via a private well often when you turn on the shower or flush the toilet you hear gushing noises for about 10 seconds or so?
There are 2 ways air can get into water pipes:* Some showers, garden hoses, and other appliances have a relatively long pipe between the valve where the water is turned on and off and the end. When you turn off the water, that pipe slowly drains/evaporates and fills with air. When you turn the water back on, it may take a surprisingly long time for the water to travel from the valve to the end.* All water has small amounts of dissolved air in it. Often that air comes out of the water, forming small bubbles that float up through pipes, collecting in air pockets at the highest ends.

Why do water pipes burst in the winter?
If you don't insulate water pipes or protect them in some way from the cold, the water inside the pipes can freeze. This causes you to be without water until the pipes warm up enough to thaw. Also, when the water freezes, it can expand and burst the pipes which will then need to be replaced. Save yourself the aggravation of having no water and the cost of replacing pipes by insulating them. To protect pipes in an empty or unused building, you can pour anti-freeze down all drains and in the toilet to winterize them.
