Ok so the bubbles are definitely there with the swg turned off / unplugged. If I have to I could possibly rig a straight pipe up to the unions just to totally eliminate the swg possibility. There are definitely no bubbles at all in the pump basket. I'm used to seeing a few dance around at the...

Nothing fancy other than the swg.

Thank you for the quick responses! My pump was off from noon until 5pm. I just started it up with the swg cell unplugged from the control box. No change in the amount of bubbles. Anything else that this could possibly be attributed to? Thanks again for you help!

Hey all, I posted here a year or two ago about an issue with air bubbles from my returns. I never was able to find the source and just decided to live with it but enough is enough. I have a continuous stream of air bubbles from my return. They are there when running the filter and when on...

Hey everyone, I've been really struggling for a few weeks now with recurring green spots on my walls. I have a 36x18 vinyl lined pool with a 10 foot deep end. 1 skimmer, 1 return, no main drain. I'm using an swg with a DE filter. Current readings from a k-2006 kit: FC 4.0 CC 0 CYA 60 Ph 7.6 (I...

So I did a bad thing and threw away the mesh cover that came with my pool, it was pretty tattered, had a few holes, and didn't look like it would last another season. It was a Merlin cover and evidently there was a serial number somewhere on it. Whoops! So now what do I do? I want to stick...

So I had a moderately large leak that made it impossible to keep the salt level stable enough to keep my SWG running, so I used bleach until it was repaired. 3 vinyl patches later and we are all set. So I added salt, got it up to 3500ppm, now working to get everything else right. So it's a...

The gurgle seems to have mostly went away on its own, or at least it's less noticeable. Not sure if it's normal or not, it's my first season with this pool.

So this is still going on. And it's bizarre. The pump keeps prime for days with no issue. The basket shows zero bubbles 99% of the time, today I had it running for nearly 24 hours and when I got home from work I had two small bubbles dancing in the basket but significantly reduced suction from...

Not at all. But I do hear a gurgling sound from the return line immediately after switching it off.

It's a hayward super pump (sp2610x15), single speed, 1hp. Logically, i would expect the issue to be suction side but I truly don't see any air in the basket. So much so that I had to really stare at it to be sure it was actually full of water. I'm running low on ideas unless air is injecting...

I do but I have it turned off until the water temp rises a few degrees, would that still make bubbles? This is my first season with this pool, so I need to learn a little more about the swg.

I posted here last week about a weird air leak and didn't get any response so I replaced basically all of the above ground PVC on the auction side. I currently have no air whatsoever in the basket, like none at all, which is awesome. However, I still have bursts of air coming out of the return...

One new data point, I let it run overnight on recirculate and the pump basket looked fine this morning, so the issue only really exists when water flows through the filter.

Hello there, hoping you can help as I'm at my wit's end over this. Purchased a home with an in ground pool over the winter and I just opened it up for the first time. I have a hayward progrid DE filter with a 1hp superpump. 1 skimmer and a small inlet "hole" a few feet from the skimmer. 1 return...
