I took it apart, probably more than I should have. However, the chlorinator also has an Ozone generator as part of it. It diverts some of the water flow through the clear tube on the outside where you see the process with the Chlorine and the titanium plates, but there is also some water flow through the middle where you don't see it. Ozone is generated and pulled into the water flow at that point. That seems to be the source of my bubbles. It's basically pulling air into the water stream and the generated ozone goes along for the ride. Basically it is intentional.

So I'm kind of stuck. Unless I unhook the O3 generator and block off the tube. Really worried about messing with it though.

-------------------------------

"Ozone is made by drawing air through Corona Discharge (CD) cells that break down oxygen molecules, which then recombine into ozone molecules. Ozone gas is introduced to the pool circulation line using a venturi injector. Water passing through the injector creates a suction that pulls the ozone gas into the water. The ozone dissolves in the water. Ozone can oxidize some contaminants and most bacteria."

That pretty much describes what I'm seeing... Not all models have it though. So perhaps I should bite the bullet and get a newer model without the Ozone.
