Jon,

If you are running your bypass back to your tank and dumping it back in through the top without a lead-in hose the water will hit the surface and cause air bubbles in the tank this problem is worse when the tank gets low.

nope, tank is full, and have had it set up like this for a year. return hose is about 75deg around from supply hose, so its not directly above, plus I ran it directly from garden hose with same effect. Could it be the unloader? how do I check.

Bob, I just sent you an email through your web site.
