Assure no open port missing a tube, water is at least 4" above intakes and micro bubbles not entering the intake

It can create a little whirlpool, like water going down the plughole, which can suck air below the surface level.

There is noticeable foam in pics suggesting buildup of air or foam in water. Add 3" of water and see if there is a change OR turn intake the opposite direction

also, thats a Jeboa pump.. you might need to shake it a little to help the pump get all the air out. Not saying that Jabao is bad or anything, i have one for my UV : )
