Air in line after pressure washing

[Lou N]

All,

I have a Cycle Sensor installed in our well system and everything works great. However, recently I was power washing the siding, taking breaks about every 15 to 20 minutes, so as not to overheat the well pump or run the well dry. I know that is what the Cycle Sensor protects against and after frequently checking I never had the CS go into "rapid cycle" or "dry" condition.

However, the next day I had some air in the cold water line, it purges out periodically and then seems to go away. I'm wondering why this is happening and if I might actually be harming the well pump?

Thanks,
Lou

Air in the lines is more likely from a hole in the drop pipe than pumping the well dry.

Cary thanks for the reply.

By "drop pipe" you are referring  to the pipe from the pump up to the top of the well?
