When I use my auto vacuum, I get air in the pump, the longer it runs, the more gets in there. Once I remove the vacuum, the air works itself out of the pump and goes back to just being water.
I have already searched this problem on here and found suggestions to use shaving cream or Saran Wrap but I didn’t find details on how to do each. Obviously shaving cream is for outside the pool only. And I doubt Saran Wrap is going to stay on the hose inside the pool. This hose floats along the surface while vacuuming and comes in 4 foot sections and my pool is 41’ long so I have a lot of connections floating on top of the water.
So do I duct tape the Saran Wrap on? Can I just tape over the Saran Wrap and not the hose itself, that way my hose doesn’t get all sticky?
I typed all the above yesterday and took the attached pictures yesterday but never hit the “post” button. I went ahead and tried running the vacuum. It didn’t help. Still getting air in pump. I’m guessing I have a crack somewhere that I haven’t Saran wrapped yet. It’s either that or I’m doing the Saran Wrap wrong.
any advice is greatly appreciated.
