I have just discovered my filter sucks air in from the waste pipe when the pump goes off and there are loads of bubbles from the return jet at start up. I suspect it has been happening for a while and the air has been leaking out of the pressure side pipe from the filter but I have greased and tightened that at the union so the air now has nowhere to go and today it stopped the pump from priming. I also noticed a few weeks ago that water was coming from waste when on recirculate so I opened the multiport but it doesn't seem to have a replaceable spider gasket. Also, if I lift the multiport handle when the filter is off all the air goes into the pump bucket. My filter is a Pentair Azur and it is hard plumbed.
