    Help me make sense of this issue.

    So during my regular weekly maintenance I noticed that the pump had a decent amount of air at the top. I went through some standard checks.

    Choosing a new pool pump

    Hi, So just wanted to ask for my clarification. So If I currently have a 1HP Single stage pump. I could get a Pentair Intelliflo VSF 3 HP ? Regardless of my filter? PVC tubing ? How would you determine the flow rate etc? So that it gets the right flow for the pool (filter etc) ?

    Suction side leak ... Help me problem solve this please. (Solved)

    I just wanted a followup in case someone else is pulling their hair out trying to find the source of the airlock/bubbles. I'll post a pic of the repairs. I was just SO GLAD that the leak wasn't underneath the tile or the outside kitchen.. THAT would have been annoying!
