That is probably what is happening. I had a well and pump plumber come out yesterday and he adjusted my pressure tank. It seems I may have a leak in my well system that is letting air into the system. The spewing of air into the pipes is most likely causing the pipes to release the build up that has been accumulating over the years. It seems to be getting a little better since he adjusted the water pressure tank. If that does not take care of the problem the next step will be replacing the well pump and cleaning the system. Yikes!
Very expensive but that is what home ownership is all about. I was thinking this morning that I really don't own my home....It owns me!!
