Sputtering faucets at my house

Featured Replies

Last couple of days my faucets are sputtering when turned on. After 30 seconds, water runs fine but for some reason the sputtering comes back. Happens on the toilets also.

 

What can be causing this?

Sounds like you got some air in the system somewhere / somehow.

 

New Egypt = Well water, correct?

Did you have any work done to the water softener? Change filter?

My system is like that for a little while after I change the filter(s)... But goes away after a little while.

 

Hopefully its one of those simple things, and not a well issue. :roulette:

If you have a well, you made need to bleed some air from your surge tank or all the air from your water softener.

 

It is strange that it hasn't gone away. Air builds up in pressurized water systems over time through degassing. It is hard to get air in through an atmospheric leak (for most system designs). Are you using a centrifugal pump for your well? If so, the leak is on the suction side of the pump.

Any fracking going on in the "area?" This man's water "sputters," too.

 

 

Remember, natural gas is odorless until mercaptan is artificially added by humans.

I have well water.

 

I do hav e a water system, but haven't changed the filter. I don't think I have a filter since my water runs through a softener and then through a carbon tank. Water pressure seems to be okay.

 

I live in a high water table but I do use a lot of water in the warmer months for watering the lawn.
