I have been troubleshooting a leak for the past few weeks. The water level went below the skimmer port and held well. I got around to re-grouting the areas in the skimmer I thought could be leaking - sealed the grout and then re-filled water. Water seems to be holding fine now - time will tell. During this time, pump was not run at all (month or so) and no chems other than throwing some trichlor (left on-hand by previous owner).
Now, when activating the pump, I get no pressure (zero) and intermittent bubbles from one of the eyeballs. The bubbles are rather large and occur every few minutes or so - 3-6 bubbles at a time...
I've re-lubed the basket lid at the pump, and also tried to feel around for any excessive debris in the basket area. I sprayed water around the external plumbing to see if I could find a leak or anything. I haven't checked the pump internally...I'm guessing there is just some debris or something clogging the system? I also tried to backwash and nothing exited the waste line...
