micro stuff caused by pump¿

i bought a used tank setup off craigs list approx 2 month ago, 2 days ago my pump broke little giant, there was a second 1 that came with the setup, i hood it up had to adjust a little plumbing now there little micro stuff and tine debris in the water that i cant filter out, could this be the pump. this didnt happen till i hooked up the new pump, any ideas

Could just be the pump kicking up detritis off the walls of the plumbing. Is the new pump stronger? It should settle down?

the pump is the identical pump but bran new, mabey there tine micro bubbles, cuz its not settling down mabey this pump is making bubbles is this possible

[Jason McK]

Is the pump internal? Check your plumbing joints, if it's micro bubbles odds are they are coming from a plumbing joint. you can get some electrical tape and wrap it around all your joints if the bubbles stop you can remove the tape 1 joint at a time. Test for bubble in the tank each time you remove the tape. You can then discover what joint is introducing air into the system. Some joints will not leak water but instead suck in small amounts of air
