Ok. I have worked in the Balance feild for many years and have worked on a lot of water pump systems. It sounds like your Impeller is cavitating at start up. " Moving faster than the water can move " Which WILL cause the Micro bubbles that is caused by water being turned into a vapor which is Oxygen. Once the water flow is up to speed with the impeller, the bubbles stop.
You can try to lower the pump into the deepest part of the tank which will put more Inlet pressure due to the debth and may help it but I doubt it. You really arent going to get much of a pressure change in less than a foot of distance. Try removing the inlet pipes and then start it to see what happens. It may solve the probelm or make it a little better. If you restrict the output, it may just make it worse. As stated above, I have some MJ1200's that due the same thing from time to time when the filter gets dirty and restricts the input flow.

OK, I bit the bullet ($$) today and ordered new stuff to rework my closed loops.
I'm not going to get the huge flow rate (30X+) some others have reported, but I already have a Hot Tub I can use outside ;) ;)
Ordered two PanWorld 100PXX pumps (1270 GPH) for the 215, two PW 40PX (480 GPH) for the 140, and a PW 30PX (258 GPH) for the FOWLR. Four OW Squirts for the 215 & 140, and a SCWD for the FOWLR. With the Sump return, High end (215/SPS) should be 20X-30X, 140/Softies should be around 20X, and FOWLR around 15X.
Anybody want to buy some slightly used MAG5 and MAG7 pumps :-D
Web Member
possibly ... what are you looking to get for them

I'll probably use one or two elsewhere, but have 4 MAG7s and four MAG5s. Paid $57.95 & $51.95 - I'll let them go for $35 & $30 each?Originally Posted by ~pete~
It will be a week or so until I take them out & replace.

I think you'll be really happy you did this once the sticker shock wears off. The pan world pumps are very well made, and I bet the oceans motions thing is too. Remember, this stuff is pushing alot of water around 24/7, and reliability is everything.

Everything else I did on my new system has been high quality, this was one area I tried to save a little money, and I am going to pay twice! Once again I have learned - DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!
I have a PW 200PXX (1750 GPH) as my sump return pump, and love it - great product! I am sure the others will be just as impressive.
BTW - I spoke w/Paul regading the OM Squirt - great guy, and very helpful. He really cares about his products & customers.
