Why is my water pump sputtering?

What to do about air in water pump lines?
Most of the time you can simply purge the lines by opening the farthest faucet until a solid stream comes out and work your way back. If the spitting is just happening with hot water, then you have air bubbles in the water heater and should relieve the pressure valve and purge the water again. Good luck!
