    Air bubbles in return jet

    Thanks for the great advice. I do have Magic Lube, but I never thought to code the O-ring with that. I'll give it a try. How often should those O-rings be replaced anyway?

    Air bubbles in return jet

    I have a 36,000 gallon rectangular shaped pool with two horsepower pump. I've always had air bubbles from one of the return Jets.

    Backwash into pool when pump starts

    Here's what the inside grids look like with the cap off of the canister after backwashing and before additional washing with the hose. No clogging on the internal air bleed assembly screen or tube, but it's possible the back washing cleaned it off?
