Basic pool plumbing question

[Titan7]

It's normal to have some air especially on low pump speeds.

Okay i will add grease to the o ring and not worry about it. I will post a photo or video of the pump and return. I know for all you experts this easy, but doing this for the first time and getting a lot of misinformation from other sources with no practical hands on makes it easy to freak out, lol.

Thanks again for helping, being ocd, i promise i will be a pro at this soon and will help others.

No worries, we were all new at this once.

Even at one of the pool returns? I called Jandy, they said no bubbles should be coming out of the returns, but who know if this is somebody reading a script?

If the SWG isn't on then there shouldn't be bubbles coming from the returns. A little air in the pump basket at lower speeds is fine as long as it doesn't continue to increase.

You have a steady stream of air from a return?

A few spuratic tiny bubbles foating in front on the light. Cant see them during the day. Nothing close to a steady stream. At first i thought it was floating dust.

Thoughts?

No worries.

Just looked, i can see Anything coming out of the returns, i can feel the water but cant see anything.

That's a good thing... Quit looking for problems!!!!

 

[jblizzle]

Can't see signatures. Do you have a SWG? They can cause bubbles to be returned to the pool.

 

[pooldv]

Agreed, actual problems are more obvious than that.

Thank you!! I do have a SWG, but there is no salt in the water as it's new plaster. Thanks for the help!!
