Below are pics of my automatic pool leveler which is NOT working. The level in the fill tube varies from the pool level either higher or rarely lower. Now its higher and hasn't reduced for over an hour.
-I have sprayed a water hose in both end and comes out the other end.
-I have blow 100psi air through (I think this made the prob worse)
-I dug the little bit you see in the pic and no leaks so far.
The fill line is 45deg to straight pipe traveling "away" from the pool return which is at the circled area.
My thought is that there's an air pocket (like a pee trap) somewhere in the line. So I'd need to cut and raise the line to the fill tube, but potentially all the digging I do it maybe under the concrete area. I'm hoping its before the 180deg turn to the pool return. Any advise?
BTW: the fill was never hooked up since purchasing the house until recently when I ran a line.
