Leak - suction side, pressure side, or in between?

[BigDave]

... bridges between the suction and pressure side ... I don't have a picture of it right now, but it appears to have been installed correctly, per the instructions in the manual ...

If it bridges the suction and pressure of the pump, it is not installed correctly and could be the source of air in the strainer. A picture may help.

My question is: Why would you want or use an ozonator?

It came with the pool, which came with the house. It seems to be doing a great job (very little chlorine required), other than this possible issue. I've seen lots of great reviews of them - is there a problem I'm not aware of?

"Bridging" may be the wrong word. The manual uses the word "bypass" - that may be more correct. My apologies if the terminology was wrong. It's installed as the manual instructs (page 4 of http://www.prozoneint.com/manuals/20...2011-10-09.pdf). I'll try to get a picture up shortly.
