A faucet that coughs air when first turned on usually means air in the lines. Here is the West Valley City guide.
The air pocket
Air gets in after a shutoff or a repair, and it collects at the high points of the lines.
The fix
Open the faucets and let them run to bleed the air out, starting highest and ending lowest.
The recurring case
If it keeps happening, a failing check valve or a well issue may be drawing air in.
The call
