How would I measure the pressure of the water coming out of the hose?

To clarify: The pressure release valve leaks when the hose is attached, with or without the inline filter. The only time it didn't leak was when I had ONLY the wall connector hooked up with no hoses, nothing after, nada. I have a large pool, so I have two swivels plus 3 hoses between the...

YES! A clue. I just tried removing the in-line filter section and reattached the rest of the hose (sans backup valve and vacuum). Water has started leaking again from the pressure release valve. (Although the pressure coming from the end of the hose is intense, even with the pressure release...

Can you explain what you mean by the ID of the swivel? I have a couple of swivel joints.

I've tried three separate new pressure release valves, all with the same issue. So no debris. But @Rocket J Squirrel's suggestion to remove everything and try the wall connector by itself DID allow the pressure release valve to stop releasing water. Not sure what that means.

My understanding, from reading a lot of posts here, is that the pressure release valve is designed to release extra water. So if your vacuums are running great even with the turbulence, it's provably fine. (Do you know your wheel RPM?) This started for me because my wheel RPM is low, which...

I'm happy to take pictures or a video if you tell me what you want to see. I bought a brand new wall connector with a pressure release valve. It's locking tight to the wall. No screws are missing.

OK. This is interesting. I tired removing the hose completely - AND THEN the pressure release valve didn't leak. It's progress. But I'm not sure what to try next. The next connection down is the in-line screen -- and that's clean. What do you think @Rocket J Squirrel?

What do you mean by head unit? If you mean the vacuum itself, I've taken that off, as well as the backup valve. The pressure release valve still leaks enough water from the wall to make the water at the surface bubble like it's boiling.

Yes. It's clear. I've also taken it out twice and "cleaned" it, just in case.

Yes, I have tried three different pressure valves. All have leaked water when tightened down all the way. I haven't put in a restrictor disc, because my RPMs are already too slow.

Happy to take pictures. What do you want to see?

I have taken off the vacuum and the backup valve. Water is still leaking from the pressure release valve.

I've been troubleshooting my Polaris 3900 for a few weeks now. My RPMs are low - they struggle to reach 20. At the same time, my pressure release valve in the wall connector has A LOT of water coming out if it, even though it's screwed down all the way. I've cleaned my lines, checked the...

Hmmmm. I actually have a LOT of water coming out of the pressure relief valve on the wall connector, even though that valve is tightened all the way. The water is bubbling at the surface with all the extra water. So I think the pressure coming from the booster pump is good. But it's not getting...
