Good Morning.
Trying to help my neighbor out. His pump is sucking air from someplace. I would assume leak in skimmer line. The pool is not losing water. The company that opened the pool said they pressure tested the line and it passed. I would assume you would see a little spray of water if it were the lid/gasket. That appears to be dry.
I would assume a problem with the sand filter vari-flo valve would not cause air in the pump strainer.
Thought about running some pvc back to the pump and connecting it to see if the problem is resolved, but it will be a pain in the ***. Suction side has no unions and goes pvc to poly.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure there's more details I can give.
