Cut the power to it and open all the taps
Just that? But wouldn't that just work for draining it?
Turn the power back on
When you turn on the taps?
Let the taps run out, close them, turn the power back on
It wasn't getting pressurized though after this.
Like a stopper or plug?
It takes time. You've displaced all the water in the system with air, so you have to re-displace the air with water. Doing so means leaving the taps open while the pump is running to allow the water pressure to push out all the water. You may also have to prime the actual pump, depending on your system.
>water pressure to push out all the water
Meant to push out all the air. My mistake.
Find the system low point and hope there's a bung, if not make one. Then bleed out water through a one way valve until you don't get air anymore.

What kind of pump?
You should have air vents at the highest points in your system to get rid of air. How the frick do you morons make a well based water system with absolutely no knowledge of plumbing.
Boomer John wants to save 1 dollah by doing it himself for 10.
It should clear itself easy enough. Just run every tap for a bit.
If that doesn't fix it, you might be sucking in air.
Is this a deep well with a submersible pump, or shallow well with an above ground pump?
A little bit more information? What do you actually have happening, like is there air consistently burping when you run your water?
