IVE GOTTON SOME GOOD THOUGHTS, BUT STILL CANT FIGURE OUT WHY THE AIR% AT THE END OF MY HOSE IS WAY HIGHER THAN OUT OF THE CONCRETE TRUCK WHEN I'M LINE PUMPING NON-AIR CONCRETE.  DOES ANYONE HAVE ONY OTHER THOUGHTS ON HOW THE AIR IS GETTING ADDED TO THE CONCRETE.

Test cylinder analysis will give you a better read on air %. Air trapped in sample is my guess. What do finishers say.
