I have been seeing bubbles in my returns in the pool. It's not always a lot, but enough that I am concerned. There are also bubbles coming into the pump basket from the supply side, again not much but enough to be concerned. Please see this video:
and this for bubbles in the pool
This happens even if there is no air in the filter when bleeding, though we have had issues with air in there as well.
Are bubbles in the pump supply like this indicative of a leak on the supply side? I tried trouble-shooting the pipes on that side with soap bubbles and drenching in water, but did not find anything. I also tried blocking the skimmer so that all water gets pulled from the main drains, and that did not help either. Also interestingly enough this does not seem to happen in spa mode, which to me indicates it's a supply side problem on the pool side.
Any advice is appreciated. This is a new build, and our builder said this was normal and to clean the filter and impeller.
