    Do you have solar heat for your pool? With our solar on, sometimes we get tiny bubbles in the return.

    I do not have a solar cover and the small leak is on the suction side of the pump. Will try to seal up to see if this takes care of the problem.

    Thanks everyone!

    If it's more than tightening a hose clamp or something like that, on the suction side many times a little squish of silicone seal will do the trick. Apply it when the pump is running so the suction will tend to suck the seal into the leaky area.
