Rena xp3 & micro bubbles

[nightster]

Are rena xp3s known to produce micro bubbles? I ask bc I'm noticing quite a few micro bubbles in the tank. While I'm not used to using a bubbler I don't think they are coming from the air stone. They seem to be coming from the rena's spray bar.

Yes mine do this all the time. Just sake the canister a little while it is running and it will prime all the bubbles out.

Never owned one but that sounds like a good conclusion to a problem

I own a couple of XP3s' and they have been running since 2007 and I have never experienced micro bubbles . I would make sure that the black cap on the top of the intake hose is tight . If this cap is not tight...it will allow air into your canister ....therefore producing micro bubbles .

I only get the bubbles after I have cleaned the filters. Its just air stuck in the system.
