    air bound

    Make sure pumps are off when bleeding air, than bump them on and off, keep fill press. high while bleeding.  If you dont have a fast fill, fill with garden hose attached to city press.( check to see if all equip. is rated for city press.)  Sometimes it's a matter of just waiting for air to find its way to highest point. If you have a compression tank make sure it's not flooded.

    Dropped gate in closed position...

    Rising stem gate valves have been known to drop their gates in the closed position.



    You could be filling only 1/2 of the system.
