before you do anything,remove the aereators from your faucets and make sure you indeed have no water. then try this,remove a stop from under a sink ,and tie on,or buy a hose adapter for outside sillcock and proper fittings to put a air fitting on your COLD WATER pipe(s). remove all check valves between pump and house, disconnect pump and try blowing backwards with your air compressor. dont put any great amount of air on it but lines should handle fifty pounds or so easily enough.If that doesnt work, the next best thing is to acidize lines.youll have to rig up a tank of some sort you can pressurize and push a muratic acid solution back through lines to pump.DO NOT run this solution into your cistern.and do not have any type of check valve between tank and line. a regular hand garden sprayer works fairly good for this. just pump up some pressure,to put acid in line then release pressure and leave top loose so pressure cannot build in sprayer. its best if you dont use wand,but if you do wire or tape valve open,once you get acid flowing back to pump fittings flush with clear water back to pump then run a lot of water through lines to get rid of acid. its best also if you do not have one to put a cutoff valve in cold water feed to hot water tank and make sure its off. simply to keep acid out of tank.
