Sorry I'm not sure I understand what a "suction cleaner rising above the water level" means. The water level in the pool is fine and the weirs are not stuck open.

Re: Air in filter basket and filter
If not adjusted properly, some suction cleaners (types with with wheels) will climb the pool walls and all the way out of the water at which point they suck in a lot of air and fall back down into the pool. This will flood the pump basket with air and the pump will need to prime again.

Have you checked the o rings on your jandy valves? They can leak when they get old and are often overlooked. Also, have you checked the same thread that you started on a different forum since it has had some responses from some people in the industry.

He means that, if you have a suction side automatic pool cleaner, and it gets above the pool's surface while it's cleaning the pool, it can introduce air into the system.

Mr Evan Wellens of New York has been abusing this forum, and others, by running simultaneous identical threads here and at two other forums.
Since he works in IT, he can't really claim, "But, I didn't know! I'm so sorry!"
He is now banned.
