Thank you.


I do plan to have the plumber here within the next week or so. *I just

I admire your diligence.

The air has to be coming from somewhere! If the water's not too hot, it's
not steam. If you don't see the same thing on the cold side, air is not
being pumped into your system from the supply lines.

The only other thing if COULD be is a miracle - or the opposite: a demon. In
either case, I'd call the Church.

Just on the wild side, ask your neighbors if they have any funny business
with their water supply. Can't hurt to ask.


Thanks.

Actually I've had some air in the cold water pipes too. That's been
going on for over a year and doesn't seem to happen in the winter.
Maybe it is from the main inlet, although my neighbor across the
street doesn't have this problem.

The plumber is coming next week.

thanks again.
