Not sure where the air is coming from, but even if it has been running for hours I still get air.
DCAG said:If your three way valve is like the top picture, then "off" closes the pipe it's pointed to... as you probably guessed. And the normal operating position is like the top picture, with the middle pipe connected to the pump. It looks as if it was installed like that because the pipes did not line up.

Better if I explain how the valve in the top picture works first:Fancypants said:Dan, if I am reading your post correctly, then you think my Jandy valve is installed correctly per the way my pipes line up? I might take it apart anyhow, just so I can have a clear understanding of which handle position does what. Can you figure out what my valve is doing the way it is set-up?
