[C320-list] Air in Water Heater?

[Art Harden]

If it does it with just the hot water you have air in the HW tank. The pressure relief valve is at the top of the tank. You can lift the lever slightly and it will open and bleed off the air. Mine has a hose connected so I can control where the water goes.  

You could also have air trapped in the cockpit shower. That is high in the system.
