    troubleshooting for side suction.

    About a month or so ago, my wife turned the valve for heating the spa while the filter was running. She knows best now, but since then, we've seen a little air in the filter basket that was not there before. It was almost air tight. I hadn't found the culprit yet, but yesterday i noticed the...
