Exactly the answer I was hoping for! Thanks guys (y)

Bah!! Don't talk about my mystery pipes! This thread is nuts so it might already have been mentioned but...one of those mystery pipes could be an in-deck chlorinator. I noticed three baskets in the deck...skimmer, auto-leveler and chlorinator perhaps? @Chefwitchyherb How's the pool looking?!

Hi all... Pool has been filled for about 7 weeks now and my builder started up the system in such a way that when the pump runs, water only returns through the IFCS and not the return jets. This seemed to be doing a great job keeping the pool clean, although the pop up heads would audibly whine...

Thanks for all your input you guys. There is so much information out there on the interwebs it can be overwhelming. I love being able to jump on here and pick your collective brains! Nothing better than hearing firsthand what other, more experienced pool owners are doing with their systems. Much...

If I can still see a good amount of air in the basket when it's done priming should I try priming it longer? It clears up eventually, but it probably wouldn't hurt to just bump it up right? It's adjustable up to eight minutes. Maybe I'll add a minute and see how it goes. I wish mine was that...

How long does your pump prime? Mine is set at 2 minutes, which isn't long enough to get all the air out. It usually takes several minutes of normal operation with air jetting out of every head in the pool. What made me question all of this is the statement written on top of the pump lid: "Fill...

Good to know, thank you!

It's not connected. I don't even know what it does!

Yes, this is exactly what is happening. That is why I asked if I should be closing the valve in front of the two baskets to prevent the water from draining back into the pool. It's something I saw mentioned here and in numerous videos online, but if it is indeed harmless to push that much air...

Not that I don't trust you, but you're 100% sure about this? Almost every video I've watched says to fill the pump basket up with water before replacing the lid so as not to allow too much air into the system.

When my PB showed me how to clean out the Leaf Vac and pump baskets shown below, he didn't do anything other than remove the lids, clear out the debris, replace the lids and turn on the pump. When he did this, I don't remember seeing much air being pushed into the pool but when I do the same...

Congrats on your new pool! Mine has been filled for about 3 weeks, so we are going through a very similar experience right now. Leslie's told me my CH was 0. He ran it twice and was convinced there was nothing wrong with his test. :rolleyes: Ditch the PS as fast as you can...trust your own...
