What would cause air in water heater / lines?
Suburban SW6DE. Seems to work as it should. Serviced, new anode, electric element. If I leave it turned off, run water, all is well. Turn on to have hot water, I get air through any faucet in spurt...

It isn't steam.that would require 3 control/safety features to fail
The normal temp t-stat/130*F, the high temp t-stat/170*F which has to be manually reset and the T&P Relief Valve/210*F--150#
Then water heater would continue to heat and BLOW UP
Trapped air...doubtful
Build up of gas due to microbic action and the magnesium anode rod....ding, ding, ding
