Somehow, air is getting into our cottage water system. After we've been away for a few days, the first time we turn on the taps, they spit air and water all over. We thought that if we had a leak, our pump would either lose its prime or cycle on and off frequently, which is not the case. It's a piston pump, with a galvanized pressure tank. Any ideas?
