My well I have been having problems with it. U can turn the faucets on in the kitchen or bathroom, and it gets air in the line. We turn off the pump leave it off for two or three hours turn back on. It runs fine four a while then it gets air in the line again. What is my problem?::confused:

Guessing that you are running the well dry. Let it sit and it recovers, so that is why I think this.

Try using less water over a longer period of time. Example: If you wash a load of clothes, then don't jump in the shower, wait an hour or more before you do that.

If this "fixes" the problem, you have decisions to make about the well.
