Removing air from your overhead water tank involves also removing air that might be trapped in the pipes connected to it. Here's how to do it:
Steps to Remove Air
- Run the water: Open faucets throughout your house and let the water run for a few minutes. This helps to flush out any trapped air in the pipes.
- Flush toilets: Flush all the toilets in your house until the tanks are completely empty of water. This helps eliminate air pockets in the toilet plumbing.
- Check water flow: Observe the water flow from the faucets. Once the water flows smoothly without sputtering or air bubbles, it indicates that most of the air has been removed.
- Turn off faucets: After the water is flowing smoothly, turn off all the faucets.
- Restore main water supply: Turn on the main water supply again to allow the overhead tank to refill.
By following these steps, you should effectively remove the trapped air from your overhead water tank and connected pipes.
