Return head causing cloudy water

[Efranco]

Hey everyone, so a bout a week ago I was moving things around my sump and might have stirred some things up and now one of my return heads keeps throwing out debris...I've done water changes, cleaned the sump, changed filter socks, cleaned protein skimmer, shut off all pumps and powerheads, to try and let things settle but can't seem to get it to stop...anyone have other suggestions...thanks in advance

Are you sure they're not micro bubbles? Depending on how chaotic your sump is this would be quite normal. Another possibility is that maybe the water level in your sump is to close to the intake of your return pump. This will cause a whir pool type of effect on occasion causing bubbles to shoot out into the DT.

I do see some things floating around when I shut off all pumps but very possible it could be micro bubbles ...i will move some things around again see if it changes ..thanks

Ok just looked in the sump and seems that the return for the UV Sterilizer was close to the return pump intake...once I moved that, the bubbles are pretty much completely gone...thanks for help...can't believe I missed that lol
