I have always worked under the assumption when dealing with pool plumbing issues that water leaks are pressure side and air leaks are suction side IE water leaks after the pump and air leaks are before the pump with a properly functioning active pump. Hoping this logic is correct due to the pump's roll in pool plumbing by pulling water from the pool, the only other thing then water could be air/dirt being brought in and after the pump due to pressure only filtered water would leak out.
So I have large air bubbles coming from all three pool returns. I replaced the gasket on my pump filter basket and tested to be sure no air was entering the lid. I no longer have large air bubbles but I do still have a very small drizzle of air bubbles coming from the returns.
A fellow pool owner suggested it might be my multi-port spider gasket on my filter. Would this not be pressure side IE a water leak since it is after the pump and under pressure not suction? If the spider gasket was leaking would it not be water that was leaking to waste, rinse, etc?
Suggestions for tiny air bubbles in the returns?
