So I tried a few things. the devices mention above seemed to help but since it sits to close to water level it would suck some air at times. Then I Try a 2” suction hose and this worked really good. You still get some air at the pump basket but is not bad at all. It was a pain to find fittings...

The vacuum hose at the hat I thin it’s submerged but maybe the fitting collard is out of the water I don’t remember. But that hose has been used one season only and with the previous hose I had the same problem. May I’ll drop some dish soap on the collard

I’m not sure how it looks under ground. It’s a single pipe with some unions I would think. Maybe a 90 degree and then comes out of the ground. I think the hose fitting is completely submerged. Last year I had replaced the hose thinking it was a problem with the hose.

Uuuu interesting maybe that would work better than me drilling a hole lol. So you guys think I don’t have a leak? But because only one return it has to pull air from somewhere? Even when I lower the rpm to 2000 still has some air.

Hello and thank you. Yes I only have one return the skimmer. Between the pump and skimmer there are no valves. The are 2 fittings that I checked for leaks. The only places could be the underground pipe and Fittings and skimmer. I do have a robot but I like to vacuum my self. As you say that...

Hello i noticed that every time I vacuum the pool the pump loses prime about 1/3. I’m able to vacuum but I’m afraid this could damage my new Pentair super flow VS pump. I’ve check all the gaskets aswell as the vacuum hose and I can’t find anything wrong which makes me think that there maybe a...

Thank you both. Yes my pool builder install a chlortab chlorinator supper close to the heater and with no check valve. So I ended up not using the chlorinator switch to liquid for this season but will switch to salt for next season. It was hard maintaining with liquid only as I don’t know my...

Hello everyone. I have a fiber glass pool that was installed early this year. They had installed a chlortab chlorinator which after reading this forum I switch to liquid chlorine for the remaining of the season. I have a Pentair master temp propane heater but there is no bypass valve. There had...

Omg 90s that’s awesome, I’m in ct blasting my heater to keep my water mid to high 80s. Did you get the CircuPool to work? How do you like it. I’m still searching for which SWG to buy. Since my pool season is finishing soon I’m just taking it slow reading reviews etc....

Thank you. I think this is the easiest solution. I thinks that when concrete gets wet it allows the flow of different voltages to the structural rebar. So if there is a bonding grid over the old concrete with a layer resurfaced concrete. This would bond everything ??‍♂️. Seems to make sense...

Do you think I could make a bonding grid with copper wire, lay it over the existing concrete pad then pour concrete resurfaced on top. Or poor concrete over it with adhesive so it adhere to the old concrete.

Yes I was just saying as extra. I will still do a bonding.

What if I was put rubber mats Home Depot sells they are like 1-2 inch thick, lay them on the concrete pad have the tub on the rubber mats.

Thank you. I have to check the label of the spa I bought, it hasn’t been delivered. It’s a master spa clarity 7. I read the instruction from their website and It calls for a bonding grid and it comes with a few locations to attach bonding wire. What should I do about the concrete slab, drill...

Hi everyone. I recently bought a 7x7’hot tub. I have an old 9’x9 concrete pad with rebar where I want to place the tub. Since this is not a new concrete pad there is no access to the rebar for me to connect to my bonding copper wire. How can I bond the concrete pad. Would it be ok to drill and...
