In the videos i attached there is alot of air bubbles coming out of jet returns and pump basket has air pocket at the top. when i turn on the pump there is no air pocket but over time it forms. It comes and goes. Sometimes no air bubbles and some times more or less. Is this normal or is there an air leak in pipping?




My pump is Jendy VS FloPro running at 1750 rpm 24/7 and I have Hayward t-cell 15 40k gallon SWG.
 
Welcome to TFP.

An air bubble forming on the top of the pump basket is normal with a VS pump run at slow RPMs as long as it clears when you increase the RPMs.

Do you run the pump at high speed for a while every day for better skimming? That will clear the air bubble for a while and keep the air bubble from growing too large.
