After some tinkering, tightening and a lot of water from a hose, the skimmer return line, at the hose clamp connection was leaking. I found that by dialing back the suction force on that line from full open to about a third stops the ingress of air into the filter, has my pressure at ~10psi...

I'll try the garden hose leak detection test when I am home this afternoon.

The skimmer isn't creating a vortex and the weir appears to be operating normally.

I was able to go home during lunch and try a few different things. When I close the skimmer return line, the pump basket is bubble free and runs great albeit at a lower pressure (4-6 psi). When the deep-end return is closed, the pump basket becomes a roiling mess and runs at about 4 psi. This...

There is a small amount of air in the basket as seen through the clear top. As a side note, I seem to be having to vent the air from my filter housing more often than last year. Sorry if this is a key piece, I was trying to handle one problem at a time. The pressure and flow did not change...

The gauge is working properly, it zeros when the filter housing is vented. I have valves inline on both the skimmer and deep-end suction, will isolating the deep end and skimmer alternately show me where the blockage is or is a different inspection process needed? I have the ability to purge...

Hello, My system is running at 7-8 psi this year which is down for the previous season of 10-12+psi. I have cleaned all the strainers, ran the system without the filter cartridges and have disassembled the pump impellor for cleaning and inspection (nothing clogged). Visually, the flow rate is...
