Outside faucets not working
I had 4 new frost free faucets installed last year and all were
working. Now 2 of them no longer work due to having air in the line. I have 60+ pounds of pressure coming from the well tank. Any ideas of how to get them working? Tia, Bob |

Air in the line would have no effect on their working- were the air at the end of the line, you'd hear it escaping. There's a blockage in the line (closed valve?) betweeen them and the pressurized line, which you want to find and remedy. J |

Open the hose bibs with no garden hose connected and rap on the pipes to see if anything breaks loose. It is almost certainly not air in the line. |
