The air will compress and not pass out of the pump. The pump will continue to run but it never clears it self because of the 5bar pressure line pressure. If the pump had a much greater volume for each stroke it might.

If this were the case, water is actually not moving and just sitting with 5bars of pressure in the lines right? Wouldn't that be detected as a blocked jet? I guess as long as I maintain my tank nearly full, the chances of this happening are at a minimum.

I also had a leak at that filter connection that was pulling air in. The pump reacted badly enough that it was noticable and corrected quickly.

This may be a dumb question, but why would a leak cause an air bubble in the line? Wouldn't the 5-7 bars of water pressure push water out, and not let air in? The worst thing that should happen is that I have less pressure in the water line, but I don't see how an air bubble could sneak itself in there since the pressure gradient flows from inside to outside.
