Hey,
I recently purchased this home and have been fooling around with the pool. My two biggest issues right now are....
Pool Specs:
D.E. Filter 48 sq ft
21 x 42 feet (700 sq ft)
32,000 Gallons
2 Return lines and 1 Drain
Gunite Shell
Spa (4 Jets, 2 floor drains)
1) I can clearly see bubbles in the Pump basket when running. When doing a water test on the pipes I find that the pipe coming into the pump is sucking air as the bubbles disappear when the water hits it. tried to seal it but its proving troublesome getting a good seal underneath the pipe as some bubbles are still present. The pool portion is spitting noticeable, but smaller, air bubbles and the pressure is lower than expected (10 psi and jet stream feels weak) yet the one SPA Jet is strongly pushing out water with air bubbles every 3 seconds or so.
2) The pool has three pumps one for the spa, a booster, and one for the regular portion of the pool. When I click the button in the ground for the SPA The air blower turns on and the SPA pump is definitely spinning however I do not see any water movement at all in the basket, also there is a lot of debris from opening the pool and I don't notice that being sucked into the pump either. The drains were both plugged and I removed them before operation.
Any Help would be gladly appreciated.
