Howdy y'all, I'm buying a home with a pool - my first ever. My inspector noticed an issue, and I haven't yet been able to get a pool company out there to inspect. Thought I'd reach out to you experts here to get your opinion.
He says: "Looks as if pool pump may be drawing a bit of air from plumbing. Sight glass shows bubbles and sounds of air movement can be heard at filter and plumbing near pump. This may indicate a broken pipe in the system or a leak. Seek further investigation and make all repairs."
Might it be a big problem? How much should I budget to fix this? I've attached three images here, and here's a brief video of the pump (I think you have to manually un-mute):
I think I also want to replace both pumps with variable-speed ones to reduce noise. The local pool supply company quoted me $5,000.
Thanks! Hope to learn more from y'all in the coming months!
