As you have plugged all cracks or opening the discharging bubbles indicate that the air is removed from the filter into the pool. To alleviate this pressure filter s are installed with an air relief valve positioned on top.

Over time air becomes trapped inside the filter causing pressure to build up inside the filter body. Working alongside the pressure gauge is the air relief valve.
