Make sure the inlet to the pump is clear.

Cavitation and aeration are two different things. If the intake to your pump is blocked partially to fully cavitation will occur. If air is getting into your pump then airation is occurring. Im not sure if cavitation could cause microbubbles but checking the intake for restriction would be one to check on top of air leaks.

Thanks everybody I will check it out, just not tonight. If I touch anything this late Murphy's law will kick in... With well over 325g of water it could be ugly.

You guys are the best!!!
