What can one do with a water hammer arrestor?
One would use a water hammer arrestor in their home's water lines to prevent "water hammer" (knocking), which is the noise pipes make when they have no air pockets to absorb the shock of the water stopping suddenly.

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.
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.
