This is probably a common question but every setup is different. I watched some videos and have checked the pump cover seal already, it seems fine. Here are the symptoms:
Bubbles in the return lines (not super bad, but bad enough)
Loud gurgling or bubbling sound in the multi-valve atop the pump when on filter
No gurgling or bubbling sound in the multi-valve when on back wash or rinse
The plumbing here does not look like any of the normal plumbing I have seen in the videos - there are no couplers other pipes that might have O-rings, just PVC and some kind of black pipe with hose clamps (which might be my problem in the first place?)
This is my first full year with this pool. Trying to figure out if I should just replace the piping "before" the pump to see if that is the problem or if anyone has other ideas I am all ears!!
