no vortex and I have 6 plus inches of water over the intake 99.99% confident that I am not drawing air in there; I only added one joint to my pre-existing plumbing. I will block my to outlets for my return and check for a leak.

the entire length is below the water line; the return standpipe 90 did come with the factory drilled anti-siphon hole though, maybe I will look closer at that.

I had this happening until all air was purged from my returns ( 3 nozzles total on one line )
Since I've installed a check valve it has stopped as the return no longer drains all the way back to the sump
it has been running a solid 10 days now, it should all be purged out.

I will post an update this weekend, thanks all for the ideas.
