Hello.
For years I’ve been dealing with air getting into my system after about 10 minutes of vacuuming. (At worst the pump basket water level gets down about half way but never lost prime) I changed everything including the vac hose, pump cover seal, etc. Today I decided not to use the closest skimmer but the other one and I found I was able to vacuum the entire pool “trouble free”. The skimmer I’m using has another outlet on the bottom for a water feature so should I plug that when using that skimmer to vacuum? I feel it doesn’t have the same sucking pressure as the other one.
FYI the skimmer hoses tie into each other before getting to the pump. Also what can I check for on the skimmer causing the issue?
Thanks!
