  1. When you have to fix a water line on a well system..You need to prime the pump from the outside by the well..should be a priming hole..then you have to go inside and turn the water spicket  the furthest down the line(both sides  hot and cold) on and let it run untill it quits spitting..this is to include the bathtubs,showers and sinks..Always bleed out the sopicket the furthest from the hot water heater first..say ou have a bathroom that is on the furthest end of the house away from the water spickets..if the tub is on the furthest wall..turn the spickets on there first..then the sink..if the sink is on the furthest wall bleed it first..then the tub..work your way through the house doing one faucet ata time the furthest ones first..You also need to bleed any outside faucets after this..if you drain the closest lines first to bleed the air out..then you merely send air from the furthest point back to the nearest faucets again..this way it blleds from the furthest point first and all the aitr is out..then the next furthest..thus eliminating all the air in the lines..I have a well and have had to do this a few times..


  2. Flush the lines in the kitchen, remove the screen and flush, or if you have an under counter water filter, then run it with out the filter.
