Man, isn't that the truth. I spent 13 years as an automotive dealer service manager and if I had a dollar for everytime that occured. OK, so I'm on two days of no leaking....I think I'll stop talking about it.....BUT, there continues to be a noise that sounds like something is sucking air. Sounds like air in the lines and is louder around the Hayward Vari-Flo valve(I think its called) No outward leaks anywhere, but just makes that noise like air is in-line. I've tried bleeding off air from the top of the sand filter but it still makes the noise. Ideas???
