When I put my my newish (<2 years old) Pentair VF pump into high speed for vacuuming today, it began blowing a lot of air from around the motor somewhere. I couldn't pinpoint it, but it seems to be coming from somewhere under the control display box. I do not see any water leaks anywhere.
I'm not entirely sure that this isn't normal, but it is strong enough to be felt while standing next to the pad, so I think I would have noticed it in the past. I'm also getting bubbles into the basket that do not seem to go away at higher RPMs. This usually happens if I have a stuck weir gate and am sucking air at the skimmers, but everything appears normal at the skimmers.
Any thoughts on this, or is it time to call someone in?
