I noticed that within the past month or so I have a lot of air when I
turn on the hot water. As the water gets warmer the air gets worse.

Since it's only the hot water I assume it's a problem in my house, but
just to be sure I checked with my neighbors and the do not have any
problems. We have town water.

What could be causing this? The air comes out in strong bursts
sometimes and it makes the pipes vibrate.

thanks.

First make sure this is an "air" problem and not a "steam" problem. I
have seen this be caused by a stuck thermostat on the water heater and
the water was actually boiling. Its a miracle the water heater didnt
blow up given it had no saftey vavle.

Make up your mind. Is it the water in the pipes that baffles you, or the
air? BTW, many of us have google groups blocked, so we won't see your
query or your follow-ups.

Someone else responded to it. I have about 20 regular googlegroupers
whitelisted, but they have to wander in here several times and have
something meaningful to contribute in order for me to notice them and
grant them that status.

Free newserver he

Or, for longer message retention, use Giganews, only $3/month for a
basic account. If you're not into up/downloading a lot of binary stuff
their basic account should suffice.

Giganews, pearl & Jade must be new. I might drop my service down
from Bronze to Jade since I don't do binaries, I'm glad you
mentioned it.

Sounds like something is overheating, if not a defective/sticking
thermostat could it be a defective (broken) heating element in
electric hot water tank leaking and thereby heating the water
excessively? Also, the thermostats only control one 'side' of the 230
volts to an electric hot water heating element! So current could flow
through the other side of the 230, flow through the defective element
(or part of it) into the grounded water in the tank and heat the
water.
Time to investigate carefully! Not a problem for someone who knows
what they are doing (not necessarily an electrician) but who is
competent electrically. Potentially could be expensive use of
electricity. probably not that dangerous (provided the tank and piping
is properly grounded!) for few hours but should be fixed asap.

We had this happen after I installed a new sacrifical anode rod in the water
heater. It was a puff of hydrogen gas out of the faucet when the hot water
was first turned on. Turns out they sold me the wrong rod for my water
heater. After putting in the right rod, the problem went away but the water
heater died fairly quickly after. Replaced it with a non metal water heater
that doesn't have/need a sacrifical anode and have not had any further
trouble.

It's the same as "Some of us in the English Romantic Literature class (well,
one) has testicles."

When asked why (why he took the class not why he had testicles) he
responded: " 'Cause that's where the broads are."

You used water faucets for indoor compressed air line termination. The
water is a byproduct of compressing air. In high humidity you'll have more
water.

Tell me, when you flush is it like one of those French blowup toilets I
hear about?

Generally, water in pipes is caused by a utility company.
