Default Powerhead Question

I just added an powerhead to my tank. Love the flow but don't like the amount of little bubbles I have floating around my tank. Is there anything I can do to eliminate them or is that the purpose of a powerhead? Any help would be great. Thanks

The bubbles could be comming from a lot of places,protien skimmer,canister filter,return pumps,each has a different cure.The power head could be cavitating,is it close to the surface of the water?What other equipment do you have?
