Air bubbles coming from return (from crack in pump pot)
Something I read in another thread triggered my memory that I had wanted to ask you about this.
When I vacuum my pool (manual vacuum) there are small air bubbles shooting out the return jet, enough of them so you can see the stream of water coming out. Vacuum suction is fine and the pressure gauge is ok. It moves from 5 psi (normal on the LO setting) to 14 psi (normal for the HI setting).
I had not noticed this happening last year and I haven't changed anything. It seems that something is sucking in air during the vacuuming process but I don't know where or what to check. The plate that goes over the skimmer basket and which the vacuum hose is attached to is on so tightly that I have to shut off the pump to take it off when I'm done.
Can you help me with some ideas on what might be going on?
