we have a shallow well single family residential plumbing system - no water softner or filter. on just the cold line, in mainly the bathroom faucet, there is a short spurt of pressure (air mixed with water) and then runs normal after about 2-5 seconds. i think the toilet in the same bathroom has the same symptom because after a flush (and when the flapper closes) it sounds like a burst of pressure (air mixed with water) for about 1-3 seconds and then fills normally. we've had the problem for at least a couple years and never addressed it. 3 weeks ago the pump (Goulds 3/4HP jet) siezed up and had to be replaced (with new check valve as well). in addition the well itself needed to have the screen "blasted" becasue of buildup (mostly iron). probably the reason the pump failed (constantly drawing too high a vaccum). so that's all fixed but we still have the same spurts of pressure in these couple of outlets. What is this? Normal? Sign of another problem? Need to get it fixed?
Great Thanks
