Generally, air is introduced into the system when there is a leak,
somewhere, upstream of the filter, or point where you're seeing the
air. Though certainly not the only reason, it is the most likely. You
might try checking for restrictions in the tank vent, also. A bad pump,
ahead of the filter is also a possibility....
