Maxijet Powerheads

Have a problem with my maxijet900 shooting fine bubbles out in my tank.
I have shook it to get out any air trap but it still shoots fine bubble about every
five minutes. Has anybody see this or come up with a fix. Thanks

Probably too close to the surface. You need to lower it a bit.

Well they are about 5 to 6" for the surface.

Mine does this also, at least it looks like a cloud of bubbles. Its about 2 inches from the surface. i just ignore it, otherwise it'll drive me crazy

Either lower it, or maybe it is at an angle/place where air is collecting near the intake and when enough air builds up, it enters the powerhead and shoots out.
