Yes, 2 skimmers plus the bottom drain. Separate pump for the water feature

Forgot to mention I always keep bottom drain cracked open even when vacuuming but have tried it closed while vacuuming but didn’t make a difference.

What I’ve been doing is plugging the skimmer furthest from filter as there is no diverter. This morning I did the opposite and vacuumed with the furthest skimmer and didn’t get any air. I do notice the skimmer pressure is strongest at the furthest skimmer but still get decent pressure at the...

No. One valve for bottom drain and the other for the skimmers. Skimmers tie into each other under ground

so while vacuuming coming out of the pump up to the multiport the water in the tube isn’t full any longer once air gets into the syste. And on the salt generator the same thing so I turn the salt generator off while I vacuum.

Ok, even if the clear tube going up to the multiport valve isn’t full (air and water)?

Hello. For years I’ve been dealing with air getting into my system after about 10 minutes of vacuuming. (At worst the pump basket water level gets down about half way but never lost prime) I changed everything including the vac hose, pump cover seal, etc. Today I decided not to use the closest...

It definitely rids itself of the air, I was just assuming I was letting some out before it built up. Guess I don’t need to do that Thanks

Thanks, it has never lost prime. I usually stop half way through and bleed the filter until airs out and carry on. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t damaging anything

Hello I have been manually vacuuming my inground pool and I continually get some air intrusion. I have 2 skimmers and 4 returns in the main pool plus 3 returns in the swim- out ( seating area) that I can close off. After about 10 minutes or so it starts getting air in the system and I’ve tried...

My SWG has a power off mode so that works for me. If you can’t, you can’t however

I agree with you, Thanks

Thanks. My concern is more about the unit turning off and on numerous times in a short period.
