    Suction Side Air Leak - Goes Away when I adjust Valve

    Thanks for your reply. All items at skimmer previously checked and OK. One additional detail - Pump strainer basket cover will burp some water when pump is shut off. Already tried two new gaskets with proper lube. Thanks, Fred.

    Pentair Rainb #300 off-line chlorine feeder check valve

    Cl220 off-line feeder problems - Plugged?
