Air bubbles in strainer pot

I have a lot of bubbles in the pump basket. Sometimes my returns shoot out poofs of air until I turn pump off and restart. The bubbles in the pot are big and lots of small ones. On all of my returns I see very tiny bubbles rising to the surface behind the returns.

I see water around one of my fittings and the strainer pot doesn't empty quickly unless I remove the lid. Then water comes out from the fitting that attaches directly to the pump.

I had the pool guy out yesterday and he says this is all normal. I thought there was never supposed to be much air in the strainer pot.
 
There should be very little air in the pump basket. If you are seeing water around one of the fittings, that is the likely culprit.
