This might be a dumb question, but is there supposed to be air in the pump basket? I've attached a picture to show what I mean, but it's hard to see. There appears to be a sizable air pocket now instead of water being flush with the top lid.
Previously, this air was not present, but it seems to have started I think after I cleaned out the basket. The O-ring looks good and was freshly lubricated. There are no leaks that I can see.
Not sure if it's a related issue, but my pop ups don't appear to be popping up anymore either, so I'm worried pressure may be an issue. I recently cleaned the cartridge filter and the pressure gauge is about 35 when the pump is running.
Thanks in advance!
