Could it be air getting in the lines?!? The pump basket drains so fast when I open it. It didn’t used to do that. I read about an air bleed somewhere on here but I don’t know where that is or how to check if there’s air?

I ran out of time to check the SWCG. This seems like it could be a serious issue and above my comfort level for disassembling things. I'll call the tech - he's always been great. I'll report back on what the issue is.

This is helpful. I turned everything off over the winter so the pool is NOT clean. I started cleaning it last week/running the pump but that’s when I noticed the leak that was soon replaced. i didn’t notice the flow issue until after the pipe was replaced. I was slamming the pool when I...

Ok team- cleaned the filters and checked the impeller. The filters were filthy, so I was hopeful that was the problem but no dice. I think something is going on with a valve. Here are two new things I noticed after turning the pump on after cleaning the filters: 1. It took a really long time for...

will do! hoping to get to the cartridge cleaning today. thanks in advance for everyone's help. I will report back

Ok I googled “Venturi system” and it brought up the ozone sanitation thing which looks very similar to that original image. We definitely used to have that but it was removed when we switched to a SWG. Ok so do we think I just need to adjust the flow to the spa? I don’t know how to do that.

Lots of good questions. I don’t have any of those answers. I haven’t tried manually turning anything. I didn’t thing there was anything manual back there. I may try calling the original installer company so they can explain what exactly the tech replaced. The spa is never ever as low as it is...

Here we go! This is the old setup

For some reason the image of the original plumbing won’t upload. This one is from a long time ago and a different angel but you can there was another pipe below the return line. Disregard the red circle. That’s from an earlier repair. Do you think the two pipes to one pipe is the problem?

Sorry for delay. I just had a chance to go back there. I think something with gravity is going on? He removed two pipes and replaced with one. This morning when the pump was on, the spa started to drain when it’s supposed to overflow. I attached I picture of the before set up (where the leak...
