for some reason my pump is sucking air when i start to vacum. at first i thought it might have been bad hose, but after having return my brand new hose back three times, and having both connection ends submerge underwater. i realized it must be something else. once i start to vacuum i get about five to ten min. of vacuuming before the pump just loses all pressure and i get no suction. at this point i must turn my pump off, remove the hose then restart my pump and allow the air to be removed. i replaced the gasket on the skimmer attach to the pump, because i saw that when turning on and off the pump a bit of water would spit out the side of the lid.
if anyone can think of a reason why this would happen, your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
