I think this is the right place for this...(please move if not)
Anyway, I don't usually pull a lot of air in my system. But this year, I am getting quite a bit. The thing is that none of it is in the pump, where I would see it in the past with various issues. The water stays pinned to the top of the pump lid all the time, yet every few hours and before I turn it off, I crank the pump up to max speed to blow out the air that's accumulating and get all the giant burps blowing into the pool.
What I did notice though is that if I vent the filter (not sure if this is common, but I can turn the gauge on top of it and let air out) that will alleviate the need for the burps. In other words, there's a lot of air in the filter but nowhere else.
I injured my leg earlier this summer and, because of where my equipment is haven't really been able to get up and look closely at the equipment but I did have a friend hand check all the fittings and everything seemed tight (replaced SWCG earlier this year). My initial thought is that when we opened this year, we didn't get the filter lid seated properly and that's where the issue is. Does this make sense? The only other thing I could think of is the line from the pump into the filter, but I have no reason to believe there's an issue there at all.
Here's my equipment pad - pump is a little ways away and downhill (long story)
