not a big deal , but the ocd in me wants to figure out why bubbles are coming out of one jet but not the other. trying to stop the bubbles could it be because i drilled a siphon too high on the right left one? its about an inch above the water line. both lines are connected to the same 1" vinyl tube with a tee barb coming from the return pump , and the return jet has a ball valve on it.

This could definitely be it (I normally put siphon breaks below the water line on return plumbing).

If you put your finger over the hole for the siphon break do the bubbles stop?

No worries! Hopefully it is a quick diagnosis leading to a quick fix! :)
