@wireform yup... back when I thought I had to crank down on every fitting super tight lol

@1poolman1 OK I'll remove the teflon and see if that helps any. Yes unfortunately I know the hayward unions... I've cracked a few on the inline chlorinator over the years

@1poolman1 thanks again for your input and help. I primed the pump to the point of no air in the basket when I got up and have been running at 3000rpm all day. The air bubble has gotten down to just hitting the clear portion of the lid. We'll see if it gets any lower. As far as your last post...

So I'll start with this, my parents bought this house when I was 8 yrs old and my dad worked for a pool company previously and at the time of purchase. I learned the ins and outs of pool care, troubleshooting, opening and closing pools. I even helped my dad with side jobs when I was younger...
