Hi Folks,
I have a private well, and have been having some serious sputtering issues from all the fixtures in the house lately.
It is intermittent, and varies from not happening at all, to violently shaking and spitting water from any fixture that is used.
We have never had any well problems, and the pressure has always been fairly good.
The pressure switch does not seem to be cycling more than normal, and the pressure seems about the same as always.
It's clear that air is getting into the lines (I can see bubbles swirling into the whole-house filter in time with the noises coming from the pressure tank when a fixture is open).
Is this something that a failing expansion tank could cause, or should I be calling a well-guy?
Thanks,
