I vacuumed and cleaned filter baskets today, chemistry has been great.
When the timer kicked on this evening, I could hear outside it was louder than normal. The filter basket at the pump (which from what I understand, needs to be full of water to prime and run correctly) was only about half full.
It fills when I turn the pump off entirely, but as soon as I turn it on, it drops to about half. I've back washed and rinsed the filter, tried adding water to the basket, it just goes away.
Is this an air leak? I had four rowdy boys in it earlier and the water level MAY be a little low. It's supposed to rain this week so I don't want to get over eager with adding.
