I have a good well with a good pump. There are two pressure regulating tanks and a whole house chemical free water filter in-line. The water heater is 1 year old. I can't find any leaks inside or out. My pressure is set at 45 psi (pump turns on) and 60 psi (pump turns off). The problem started without any changes to the system. It seems to be worse when it rains heavily for days. That may be a stretch or excessive thinking, but I'm at a loss. Any tips or help would be appreciated.

My husband has been a plumber for 30 years. This is what he says: In your filtration system, there may be a flow control valve located somewhere before the well tank. Sometimes those go bad and allow air to get in the system. He suggests that you check with your filtration company to see if your system has this type of valve.

most of the time it is a problem with GPM or gallons per minute i have the same problem with my well pump you have got the right pressure but not en-of flow to kept up with all of your services. water will run to the closes faucet and the wons down the line will suck air in and that is wear the air is coming from
