    Pool return line air?

    I got it!!! What was failed to mention to me was a storm came in and blew a lot of Crud into pool. I clean out filters, basket etc… problem gone. I did not check valve flap or there anymore. I was out of town…

    Pool return line air?

    I have two valves on the return side for the pool. One is for bubblers and other is the jets around the pool. When I open the one for the jets around the pool all the way, my pump makes noise like air is in the lines they are visible in the pool. Bubbler only does not do it. Hot tub does not do it.

    Suction side vacuume

    If the vacuums is all the way off no issues. Only when I have pool vac 1/2 way or more and kids take it out of pool disconnected and hose out (wall suction closed off when vac is out). I would think it would get water needed from the pool drain and skimmers.

    Skimmer float valve.

    Thanks for the answer. I was just illustrating how the pipes come into the valve. I do have minimal control over skimmers because they are plumbed with the main drain. But could I slow down the flow (one skimmer) with a float valve if it’s in parallel? Would I need a float valve in both to...

    Skimmer float valve.

    I have 2 skimmers. One is in series with main drain and has float valve. The other in parallel with the 1st one and no float valve. I would assume that both need float valve because if water drops below level both would induce air. And the parallel one without the float valve is gettin more...

    Suction side vacuume

    I have a suction side vacuum. If I set it too high with valve and kids take out, pump cavitates. I have even hit the valve with the mower and didn’t notice. The valve is between pool main drain + skimmers and vacuum. It there a valve that would protect against this? I know I could set it...

    Scale tec and chlorine level

    My builder suggest trying it. The dark spot appeared and said that the lighter color could be calcium and that it’s coming off revealing the original dark color of the plaster. The pool less than a year and I thought the light color could be plaster dust.

    Scale tec and chlorine level

    The directions say lower chlorine to 1 - 3. The pool is about 15, I shocked before slowing it all down for winter. Salt gen is turned off. Might be awhile before it drops to a level that low. Is it that important to wait until it’s that low…? Thanks
