    The only reason I turned off the pump before letting the air out is because I didn’t know what was wrong at the time. Anyone have any idea what happen???

    Reno,
    My best guess is that you got a vortex flow in the skimmer and it sucked air. Sometimes, even at high water levels, when the conditions are right, this can happen. Skimmers are designed with various types of weirs (sp) to prevent this. Some have a door type mechanism, others a floating thing, or something else.

    I'm always reading threads to find out if my problem might already be answered by someone else's problem. That's why I'm tailing onto this one. I've got foam on the surface of my pool and it looks like there are bubbles in the filter. I've never heard of opening the filter, but it sounds like that worked here - is it the hole at the top (I have a Jacuzzi - ST24). Does it open easily and should you keep the pump running?
