    Plumbing Airlock issue?

    RPM 3450 - and no air when using main drain only. Not marbles just louder than it used to be. I can hear it switching zones from my back door and I used to have to go to the other side of the Ramada to hear the transition of zones.

    Plumbing Airlock issue?

    I did the shaving cream and dish soap suds. No issues found with the plumb. Plus - it works fine just loud when I adjust the valve to drain only.

    Plumbing Airlock issue?

    I thought about that as well due to the water flowing to the pump without issue and then stopping and restarting to flow again. Everything I have read indicates that the flow of water could get disrupted if the suction plumbing pipe exceeds the height is the inlet port for the pump as well as...

    Plumbing Airlock issue?

    Plumbing Airlock issue?

    Jandy valve selects between drain and skimmers. the skimmers do not empty out the filter pump basket empties out like toilet and then refills with water. That is what is leading me to think maybe the plumb is creating some sort of airlock situation.

    Plumbing Airlock issue?

    I'll post better pictures today. It does react exactly like a toilet would when flushed. But water level is fine and weir doors are open. The pump is much louder than it used to be before the work was performed. Almost seems like it is stressing. I am using a cartridge filter. All air is...

    Plumbing Airlock issue?

    My pool has been experiencing an odd issue. It all started with a small air leak on the suction side of the pump. Turned out I need to replace the valve o rings and the valve housing due to a crack. So I had the items repaired and replaced along with some re plumb. Now when the pool runs I...
