If you are using a jet pump then you have a loose connection somewhere. Jet pumps in general are notorious for being picky about tiny air leaks. You literally need to go over every single connector and heat the pipe as you re-connect it, to get an excellent seal.

If you have a deep well submersible, then you possibly have a hole or leak in the downpipe in the well. This can be a really complex issue and if you are not very familiar with well problems, I'd strongly suggest calling a well technician. NOT a plumber, they know little about wells in general.

Why would there be air in your well water lines?

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.
