I have replaced the pressure tank and all fittings in the house about 4 months ago and everything was fine until last week. I started getting air in the lines. After checking out what I could I am thinking its a foot valve in the well it self. Any advise? Oh here are the symptons

Air the longer it sits so in the morning the shower spits at you and when you flush

water pressure has not changed

I have disconnected the foot valve in the house and it seems fine

Checked the pressure tank and is hoplding at 38PSI

When I have the foot valve off in the house and just the plastic pipe coming out of the wall from the well and the pump off you can hear it draining back to the well. Is that normal?

Water is clear and no dirt or sand.
