Thanks a lot! I will give it a try!

Blue torrent 1.5hp pump

I was looking for an air relief valve but I don’t think it has one. It does have a gauge which I’ve checked too. The auxiliary pump was here when we bought the home 9 years ago and has never worked and I never replaced it. Should I cap it off?

Let me ask this, if the sand filter (the hull I will say) has an air leak how would you know? The mvp is new, the spider gasket I checked, only guess would be the hull or tank has a crack I cannot see and water isn’t coming out of ??‍♀️ thanks for the help. I just felt like I’ve tried...

So an air leak where?

When the pump is turned off the sand filter seems to be releasing air.

Water sprayed out the Union.

So let me say this, the water flows through the sand filter to the salt system but doesn’t have enough flow to keep a prime. So it trickles, is there a way to post a video? So you want me to loosen the Union and let water spray out and see if it keeps a prime that way?

Yes trust me my brain hurts too lol I can’t think of anything that’s what led me to this site! We have tried to backwash but little to nothing comes out, it works the same on each setting, little push of water and then a trickle then hardly none. Water slowly comes out of the jet, nothing more...

yes checked impeller, no issues and o rings in place, and siliconed and lives.

yes correct. So no matter which pipe the original or temporary it doesn’t have prime. I wish I could post a video of what it does, it’s getting water in there but not enough to fully run.

I didn’t move the position valve...it came on that thing has a whole piece and it worked fine all last year till end of season. We inserted hose from the above ground pipe “the temporary pipe” and closed it off so no air would get in. Auctioned fine no problem. Lay pipe and hose in the water...

Oh and it started at the end of last season, replaced basically everything, got new pump at the beginning of season last year worked perfect for 6 months. Pump is still good it’s been checked and i bought a new just in case.

So we normally close the pool during winter bc of all the leaves, this year we did not but I’ve cleaned it all out. Yes our ground is very hard and we didn’t want to dig up the suction line unless it had a leak, so we bought pipe to run on top of the ground to do the same job, it didn’t work...

They are def on correctly , Even when the pool people come out they say oh replace this and that and I end up spending lots and still isn’t the issue. Any other ideas?

The pool has a large suction at the beginning then dramatically drops to almost none. We have checked leaks in pipes,fittings,motor,o-rings, etc. When we checked for pipe leaks, I bought pipe to stick into pool to see if it would still have suction or none, when you add the hose plus cut off air...
