I know. You don’t really need to bleed … They’ll naturally bleed themselves. I’m not sure where all this air is coming from and I don’t know why it would be happening unless he put the cold on the hot and the hot on the cold and it’s not feeding itself properly. That could be a problem. Or if the fill tube got mashed down into the water heater and it’s not filling properly. That’s the only thing I can imagine. That way, you get air caught in the top of the tank and it’ll continue to be there because it’s feeding from the bottom and not the top.

It’s not something that is constantly is created. If you had an opportunity to have air in the lines that means you’d have a leak somewhere and water would be going everywhere.
