I installed the PK125 PSIDE KIT, now I have a lot of air in the water line. I know it is not the PK 125 but looks like water well snifter valve lets in the air and when the pump comes on the air enters the piping. With the 80 gal. tank I had before I never had air in the pipe. Do I need to remove the water well snifter valve with the PK125? Had air over water tank before.
 
I’d love to see pics of your install. Sorry I can’t help with your well problem

If you had a non-bladder tank with an excess air bleeder valve before, and went to a bladder tank now, yes you need to remove the snifter valve. If that's what you did, why?
 
The old tank was leaking and I did not know that much about different style tanks and how they work. I have read about the csv valve and the price was not to bad. I suppose I did not read enough about it. The csv requires only a small tank and not that hard to set up.
