    Receiving air at newly installed 1hp Hayward Super Pump intake.

    Thx wireform. From what you wrote and what I'm experiencing, my air leak is somewhere on the pump. The most logical location for the offending leak is w/the cover and its gasket. I've ordered lubricant and will give that a shot. heck, I might even try re-using my old cover.

    Receiving air at newly installed 1hp Hayward Super Pump intake.

    I agree re: not getting a proper seal. The two pump plugs have been checked and those seals look good. I have not tried lubricating the lid, but will give that a shot.

    Day 12 of Semi-Slam and CC still stuck at 0.5

    This is my 1st season w/TFP. We are the original owners of our pool. Prior to this spring, all of our water testing and chemicals were purchased via the local pool store. Our favorite pool store went "belly up" 4 or 5 years ago and since then, I've been ping ponging between two other local pool...
