Update: No blockage in the vacuum inlet pipe. Water flows freely in both directions. I also tested diverting all suction through the skimmer and I do indeed get a small amount of air sucked in to the pump basket. If I turn off the pump, there is an air bubble the size of a 50 cent piece floating...

There is no air leak in any normal valve position until I start diverting all suction from the "Pool Vacuum Inlet" V2-A. That is a 2" line. So I just looked at my drawing again and realized that the skimmer is also a 2" line, however when diverting all suction from the skimmer, the problem does...

So...I still have the same vacuum leak. I have ruled out all of the suction side diverter valves by taping a plastic bag around the pipes, isolating each one of them and filling the bags with water. The valve and glued fittings were completely submerged in water. I did the same with the pump...

Thank you guys. I should have read that pool school article before I posted. I made a diagram of the affected part of my system and attached it. Richard, you were right on. I didn't realize when I was closing V2-C, it was creating more suction because V2-A is a 2" opening. I replicated the...

I have a 3-way pentair diverter valve that when rotating the handle to one side, the basket connected to my pump starts filling with air, so I am assuming it is a vacuum leak. I thought it might be a leak in the valve itself, so I bought another valve, pulled out the guts and placed them all in...

I hit mine with the leaf blower to speed up the drying time.
