Hi
I have an IG fiberglass pool with Hayward equipment. THis year after opening I had air in the pump basket but only when running the skimmer. when pulling from bottom drain or half bottom/half skimmer there was no air. The air fills about half the basket. Even though there is air in the basket, there is very little/few bubbles from exhaust. several days after opening I have not seen any signs of a water leak, level remains constant. I replaced basket gasket and lubed it with O-ring lube. I'm thinking some type of blockage in the skimmer line. Hope this is not indicating an underground leak. Any help would be greatly appreciated. - Joe
