air does not get into your water line unless you shutoff the water and let it in....that being said since your kitchen faucet is the only affected fixture your probably getting debris lodged in either the cartridge, or mixing valve depends on type of faucet....if you are so inclined and a little handy take your faucette apart and then turn on the emergency shutoffs under the sink ever so slightly and try to fluch out any debris that may be caught in the lines. be aware your gonna have water shooting up to your ceiling if you turn them on to high...if you have another person they can help by holding a class over top of the disassembled faucet to keep the water localized. after flushing put back together and turn supplies back on...also try cleaning your aerator....good luck hope this helps

If you hear or feel air rushing out of the tap when you turn it on, then just wait a few seconds, and the water should start flowing. If you turn it on and nothing comes out, you either have a blockage, or a valve is turned off somewhere between the kitchen and the pump or water main, or your well has lost power.

open the kitchen faucet all the way and let the air and water come out.

do away with the aireator and turn the two warm and chilly on low till ultimately you get a stable circulate. the faucet will spit and sputter till ultimately all of the air is out. The aireator is placed on the tip of the spout have been the water comes out. turn counter clockwise to do away with it and make certain to bathe the exhibit out earlier you replace it. you may could run the water for a collectively as counting on how lots air.

air is heavier than water believe it or not. disconect the line from the tap. hold the non stiff (pvc or plastic end) up in the air. Now all the air will come out. place hose or connector back on and bingo!

air is not trapped in the line...air will bleed itself out when you open the valve..something else is amiss here

There is a bleed-valve on the hot water heater. Bleed it until a steady stream of water pours out...& your danc'n.
