If so, check everything to make sure that all the connections are tight and that nothing is cracked, especially the intake. Have you added anything to the tank, like Pimafix or Melafix? Some of these will really make the water bubble. |

It is called "degassing" and the result of the release of pressure from being in the water pipes. Also, many faucets have small screens and aerators built into them to mix air with the water as it comes out of the faucet. They cause no harm, and will be gone within a day or two.
