    Upgraded membership and moved thread to the pool equipment section. You may need to log out and back in to see everything.

This page of mine will create the search links for you. Google knows my site -- and all the others -- much better than those sites internal search functions! And, if you need to post pictures -- of your pool, filter, pump, piping, what-not -- there are instructions on this page

    Based on that reply, I'm not sure it's really an issue. I do know the sight glass was full before we lost prime due to the suction cleaner sucking in air when the level dropped to low. However, since the pump is maintaining prime now and the filter is within operating pressure (15PSI of a 10-20PSI rating), and the water does appear to be clarifying, perhaps it's a non-issue?

    I hesitate to modify the system where this place is a rental. If I was to add an air bleeder, where would I do so? The only 1/4 NPT fitting on the filter that I see is the pressure gauge.

    Sorry, should have made that clear.

    The 'tee' is so you can screw the gauge back in after adding the bleeder. But . . . don't do it unless you need to do so!
