I bought my first house in march and it has my first pool. I'm in Naperville, a suburb of Chicago. I'm looking forward to opening the pool and spending most of the summer in it.

Welcome to TFP! Make a pool signature and post a pic of your new pool. I've had mine just over a month. It's been TFP all the way and looks great. Do you have a test kit yet?

Thanks. I am having some trees removed next week. After that I'll start getting rid of the algae...

I see bubbling in my pump window when I go full skimmer with my 3 way valve. When it's 50/50 main to skimmer I don't see these agitation. Does that mean there is air being pulled in that line? I noticed my skimmer didn't have the basket or any kind of door or lid. I got replacements but I've been reading about some kind of valve that sits in the bottom? Any input would be appreciated.

Most likely your water level is too low and you're getting a vortex and drawing air. In that case it's either the pool level is too low or the weir (flapper) is stuck. You say you have no weir, so go take a look for a whirlpool and raise the water level.
If your skimmer well has two openings, then you need a diverter. If your main drain has a dedicated line, that's not likely, so no diverter would be needed.
You should have a basket in there to catch big stuff before it can lodge in the pipes and plug them. If it doesn't lock in somehow, a big river rock- bigger than the pipe opening -- will fix that.

Thanks. I will put the basket and weir in and actually look at the skimmer when it's running and look for the vortex.

There is only one line in the bottom of the skimmer and what looks like an overflow drain.

What is the best way to determine what model number my Perflex filter is?
MODELS: EC65A, EC75A
MODELS: EC65A, EC75A
Lacking a readable label, it appears only by disassembly. The exploded parts diagram https://www.hayward-pool.com/pdf/manuals/Perflex-EC65A-EC75A.pdf shows the only difference to be the length of the fingers, er "flex tubes". EC 65 13 3/8, EC 75 16 1/4
