Taking air out of hot water system

We have a hot water heater system. I have bleed the value to let the air out. It seems like I have to do this every week. Is this normal or does it mean there is a leak or just a lot of air in the lines?

Thanks,

If like this is a new set up ,or you just filled it yes there is a lot of air there in the water at first. If you shut off the auto fill does the psi go down??? Dont keep it off.

No the PSI stays the same. Does this mean there is a lot of air and not a leak?
