Yes, the pool water level is above the return plumbing. Thanks for the tip.

Reporting back that they are the same length.

Opening the air relief valve did not help. Water continuously pours from the pipe.

Just the one filter. The unit on the right is a heater. I'll try that. Thanks.

I'm going to be replacing my SWG soon. When I removed the cell to clean it in the past I haven't been able to stop water from flowing out of the pipe. I end up flooding a good portion of my yard. I've tried closing the valves for the skimmers and drains but no go. I figured there has to be some...

No, round with round.

Has anyone here ever replaced a Jandy APURE1400 with the PLC1400? If so are they both the same length? I put the PLC1400 next to the APURE and the PLC looks a bit longer. I'm just trying to figure out if I'll need to be cutting some pipe. Thanks.

It only comes out of the waterfall or the spigot if I fill the pump basket with water before turning it on. Once that water is gone, there is no more water coming out anywhere. I will try the hose suggestion tomorrow. Thanks.

Thank you for the suggestion but it appears as if there is no skimmer basket connected to the main drain. The two skimmers run off of the filter pump. The main drain has its own pump that does not appear to be connected to the other lines. Could I try the same thing by opening the lid to the...

Thanks for all the help so far. I did not have this pool installed. I bought the house with the pool so I'm not able to explain the reasoning behind the plumbing decisions. Referencing the picture, the valve on the far left of the picture will open/close the main drain. You can then see the...

You are correct. One supply from the main drain and one return to the waterfall.

http://i.imgur.com/bDm1oy3.jpg The pump in question is on the far left of the picture. To clarify, water only shoots out of the spigot if I fill the pump with water prior to turning it on. Once the pump is turned on, there is no water coming from the main drain side.

I have two pumps that control my pool. The first pump is for the filter/skimmers/returns and the other pump (Dura Glas Sta Rite) is for the main drain and a waterfall feature. Water gets sucked from the main drain and comes out the waterfall. The main drain pump stopped working at the end of...

It appears I have a leak in my inground pool. When the filter pump is on, water starts bubbling up from the ground. It appears to be coming from underneath the concrete deck. I'm losing a couple inches a day. I have a repair person coming on Monday. What can I expect? If the leak is coming...
