Hey folks,
Not sure if this is expected or if I am doing something wrong but i have an above ground pool. I use a manual vacuum where the hose is placed inside the skimmer. I close the main bottom drain with the diverter to increase the suction of the vacuum and the seal of the vacuum inside the skimmer is always flush, no chance for air getting in.
My issue i notice is when vacuuming, i can see a lot of air builds up in the pump, like it is almost half air in there. I feel like this isn’t normal but I also am new to this so maybe i am overreacting? I just assume their should never been that much air in my pump.
I always fill the vacuum hose up with water using the return jet before putting it into the skimmer, i just don’t get where the air is coming from during this process.
