new pump air

[hrsdennis]

Hi Ray, Welcome. I would first apply lubricant to the hair and lint pot o-ring. If that does not help I think the advice from Waste was perfect.

Another trick to add to my bag, thanks.

Something else to check, suction side leaks will suck air with the filter running and leak water with the filter off. Most of the time.

I find that sometimes, a vortex happens in the skimmer and air gets pulled in along side the water.
Was doing some maintenance on the pool yesterday and noticed this again, usually it happens when your water is on the low side and there's less spillover into the skimmer, however, my water level is relatively high right now but I'm not running the basket in the skimmer at the moment which is the reason the vortex is allowed to pass air right down into the intake hose - might want to look at that before anything else.

Sometimes you can spot leaks with Foam Shaving Cream sprayed on to the fittings/valves. You'll see a section "collapsing" faster.

To learn more, so that I can do my job better, is why I came here - I'd imagine that you are similarly inclined. I have no! problem passing on the stuff I know and the 'little tricks' I've picked up over the years. I've learned sooo much here that the least I can do is help any of the other members that I can.

Hope you have a good season!! - Ted
