    Can't get new VSP pump (lid?) to seal, large air pocket forms over hours (video linked)

    I replaced my pool pump and I replumbed the last couple of feet of underground suction-side plumbing before the pump, since the new pump didn't fit between the house and the existing plumbing. I dont think it's the underground plumbing, as I filled the hole with water so all new fittings were...

    Air bubbles from return jets

    Looking for some advice/guidance - ever since opening my pool early June there have been bubbles coming out of my returns. I have a Hayward super pump and I replaced the strainer gasket with a universal one from the pool store which didn’t fix it. I now just replaced the pump strainer lid and...

    Bubbles from crack in spa gunite

    I purchased a house with saltwater pool and elevated spa a couple years ago. While recently in the spa, I noticed small bubbles coming from a gunite crack at the bench which was previously patched by the old owners. Video at Pictures of whole area: The bubbles continued even after we turned...

    Bubbles at fountains after heavy swimmer load

    Hey guys! This is a first for me and I’m not real confident I know what to do to fix it. I had a lot of people over on Sunday and almost all of them had on sunscreen were talking 15 to 20 people — since then, I have bubbles around the water features. My numbers look good. I’m assuming it’s all...

    My spa jets have stopped putting out air bubbles

    My spa doesn’t have a dedicated blower. Instead there seems to be an air intake pipe that emits gargling sounds when I set my system in spa mode. That pipe is near the pool equipment, which is about 30 feet from where the spa is. When I turn on the spa mode, I hear the pump ramp up, and the...

    Partially block skimmer to create aeration - bad idea?

    Anyone know if it is a bad idea to partially block the skimmer to create aeration/CO2-degassing? The pump seems OK with it (i.e. not hot or making noises) and I get the desired aeration bubble coming out the return jets. I guess cavitation could eventually do damage, but I was thinking this is...

    Bypass Heater- air bubbles coming out the jets

    Hello, I'm trying to figure out where I'm getting air bubbles in my system. I have a Hayward DE filtration system with a Hayward heater. Air bubbles are coming out of the jets. They are smallish bubbles. I have sealed and lubed the filter lid. I think it may be happening somewhere within the...

    Filter Jet Has Bubbles

    Hello everyone so I've just recently opened my pool and I've never had a problem until now. I have bubbles coming out of my pool jet. I've looked online and followed every tutorial from cleaning the skimmers, checking the orings, checking the pipes, checking the water level and letting the air...

    Let's Play Guess The Mess

    I cant seem to rid my pool of this bubbly, foamy mess. I have not yet used my pool this year. I've shocked it a number of times. I've changed out the output hosses in case air was getting in there. I changed the sand in the sand filter. Could the foam be salt? If so, its never happened...
