New pool owner.
Pump: Hayward Super Pump VS 700 230/115V
Filter: Hayward Pro Series Sand Filter
Heater: Hayward HeatPro Heat Pump
A couple of issues/questions. I've read several places where "some" air bubbles in the pump basket may be normal on variable speed pumps. At max RPMs there is 1 tiny air bubble and when I drop the speed down to 2000 RPMs there are a few more. It has gotten better after I refilled the basket with water and re-primed. However, the bubbles are still more prominent at lower RPMs. Also, we have 3 return jets in our pool. The one closest to the pump has a few air bubbles that trickle out. The other 2 never have air bubbles. I'm guessing there may be a leak at the pump, but I wasn't sure if that may be associated with the air bubbles in the pump basket itself.
2nd question. If the water flow is too low then I get the "Flo" error on the water heater. I set timers on the pump to run at max RMPs for 8 hours at night, 11pm - 7am. For 7am -11pm I set it at a lower RPM. Initally, I had it at 1500 rpm, but that would always cause the Flo error on the heater. So I edited the speed to 2000 rpms and that worked that the heater would kick on. However, this only last for 3-4 days then the Flo error came back. So I then edited the speed to 2100 rpm and that worked for 1 day.
Anyone else have this issue? I was hoping to be able to run my VS pump at lower speeds and still have the heater work. Also confused at why it would sometimes work and then not. Again, could there be an air leak somewhere that would affect the flow and GPM going through the heater.
Thanks for any feedback.
