Good shout but I ordered them from suppy House. They are all sch40. Everything is new but I guess I can replace all the orings on the pump. It’s either the 3 way, the pre pump plumbing or the pump itself….. It was my first rebuilt … it seemed to go so well.

Yea I checked them all (both plugs) and relubed. Same with values.

Thanks both! So irrespective of what value is closed, air is still getting into the pump. I checked the pump lid when I relubbed and it looked good (it's brand new, could it be a unseen defect). So based on the above, it's between the 3 way diverter and pump? Even when I used the hose on those...

Hey folks, I've got a recent issue that I could do some help with - I just redid my entire pool pad with new equipment and I hope I didn't, errr, mess up. At low RPM, I'm getting air in my pump basket -prob 1/5 the depth of the basket. At max RPM, I'm getting loads of bubbles wizzing around -...

This was longer than I planned, but hopefully I covered most of the front loaded questions. I've been a long time lurker (and TFP method follower) but this is my first post, and I'm undertaking a complete pad redo. I've done the occasional pipe repair, which worked well, but this is the first...
