that's a great place to start. will replace those and report after.... reading your answer it does make sense that the electrical actuator that sits atop wouldn't have any influence... likely symptom would be similar even if equipped with a mechanical handle. i did inspect as much as i could...

Plot Twist: I did the tape and problem persisted...nevertheless I put the system in Service mode and pumped stopped and got the phone very close to the valve to take a video and a sound caught my attention see link...

that is a good trick ... to at least isolate the possible joint where it could be coming from... someone else mentioned about a possible leakage at the valve itself but I would think if that is the case I would see the air bubbles regardless of the selector position on the 3-way valve.... yet is...

I will attach 2 links of videos with pump at max speed so the difference is noticeable in the pump reservoir. those pics are VAC+SKIM (virtually no bubbles) and MD+SKIM (bubbles)...

As soon as I am back to the house I will try that. With the pump off and sticking my ear close would I be able to hear an air leaking into the pipe? are there any tools (stethoscope type like) that can be used for this ? if the leak were to be in the valve itself.... wouldn't I also experience...

hello pool family Since installation (2y ago) all have been working fine and when running variable speed pump at max and clearing air out of the cartridge filter top valve the pump basket reservoir has no air bubbles. Beautiful over the last few days i started to notice air bubbles coming out...

valid clarification... luckily i got the material from distribution channel at a great price... i am hopeful that make some sort of dent into the $5/sqft average estimate

good point about the warranty... although the reasoning for waterproofing and then bond coat on top was precisely as per best practices/recommendations from the Plaster Manufacterer to further anchor their warranty... they mentioning they ahve the ability to take samples and identify the...

negative... that would have to be provided by the contractor doing the plaster job

hello pool family I wanted to check with you guys for perhaps some assistance in keep the quotes honest. I am looking for an estimate in JUST LABOR for plastering a pool... substrate is raw shotcrete with a just a waterproof and bonding coat. I am sitting on all the material (54 bags of Miami...

still no dice... its getting difficult (to my surprise) finding a contractor that wants to do the work. My humble opinion is that companies in the region are used to deal with customers that don't know much about what they want or can envision the end product so they have more room to lead the...

We are looking to resurface our pool and add an in pool jacuzzi in one of the corners. We want to lay out new decking and coping in sandblasted marble. We are also looking to expand our deck over what is currently an area with grass. Does anyone know of a reputable and honest pool person in the...

Very illustrative... I will definitely go out next time is very full and get the dye syringe and reach in the skimmer and check for leaks. I just did an inspection with the mirror and seems ok that seam... but cant say for sure until I dye test

ahhh... interesting... ok... I will get my little mirrors that came with the leak kit and inspect better underneath that lip...(can I use the putty in the kit to seal if I see a culprit?) for sure water has gotten to that level (black arrow) but never past this red line otherwise I would've...

Thank you for that clarification. attach are some pics... i don't think I have an extension based on where you drew the red line...seems like a full piece I can't take better pics without dunking my phone in the water o_O

do you have a test kit you would please recommend ...? ColorQ and AquaChek 7-way pool Test strips (as backup and quick-every-other-day check) have been my methods so far

where would be that extension collar connection? if you could show it on a diagram and can better understand where to look and take a pic from. would you mind please perhaps circle it on red where the possible leaks could be ?

Recent pool owner (less than 1y) here so apologies for the lack of knowledge. what does it look like? I only drained 1 time but that's understandable chemistry will be off... but the symptom of chemistry going out of whack then pool gets too much water... i can't explain it. perhaps is...

I am a recent pool owner (less than one 1year) ... what does an auto-drain look like? I have looked around the pool equipment and pool deck and I see no noticeable indications that pool is overflowing somewhere... mind you the level seldomly goes above the skimmer 6" window... and when it does...
