Hello,
I have read several post on here about air in lines after installing an AIO iron filter, but nothing specific to my issue. I'm fine with the micro bubbles in the faucet, my trouble is that my garden hoses spurt big air pockets quite often and it causes my pressure washer to malfunction due to getting air in the pump.
The way the plumbing goes is: the main line from the well comes to a T one side goes to the iron filter and the rest of the house, the other side goes off for the hose lines. My best assumption is that when the hose is running, it begins to siphon air from the iron filter on the other side of the T. If that is true, is there se sort of a check valve that could be put in to prevent the backflow? Any other ideas? Thank you all.

Best practice is to have a check valve installed right before it goes into the filter to keep the air on that side. If there isn't I would install one.
