Have AG pool with a 10-year-old Jacuzzi brand 1 hp pump and sand filter.
Just started pool up and when I turn off pump there is a backflow that would blow the top off the lomart skimmer.
Noticed I had some air bubbles in cover of strainer basket so replaced the gasket. This solved about 75% of it, now just a little back flow. And when turn off pump the strainer basket does not keep full of water. Guess I still have an air leak but cant find it. Top clear cover of strainer basket no longer shows any air bubbles when running. But I do see a small stream of air bubbles in the hose the connects the pump to the filter. ( I use a heavy clear hose).
Thanks for any suggestions.
