I just had my Hayward Eco Star replaced with a Hayward Tri Star. I had a pool repair company install pump so I will have a 4 Year warranty from Hayward. A few hours after pump was installed I noticed water in basket was low, cavitating, and lots of air in filter. I bled air and let run for another hour and same results.
i thought maybe my vacuum hoses had a leak since they were 4 years old. I purchased A new Hayward Phoenix and installed. I am having same symptoms. I switched diverter valves to only pull from skimmer and pump is fine. No cavitation codes, no air in filter, and pump basket is full. I thought maybe diverter valves we sucking air so I replaced O-Rings on both valves. When I switched Back to vacuum mode on valves and pull from cleaning port on wall the pump cavitation, basket is not full, and air in the filter.
i was running pump at 2800 RPM and even slowed down to 2000 and still have problems. I checked unions on pump but didn’t think I had a problem since it ran fine when pulling from skimmer. Pool repair guy did mention there was a big glob og glue inside the union on suction inlet of pump.
I was thinking I had a problem with suction line i hook vacuum into on the wall. Is it possible the glob of glue was sealing the suction inlet and problem presents itself more pulling through port on wall and through the vacuum versus pulling from skimmer? i did notice when I unplugged hose from wall the pool pump tone changed when I removed hose and kept suction port door open.
I am hoping you all have some suggestions for me to try. I never had this problem before pump was replaced. Vacuum worked fine and no cavitation issues. I checked unions on pump and snug but didn’t think I had a leak there because pump runs fine when pulling from skimmer. I look forward to hearing back and hopefully getting issues resolved. Thanks
