Older DE pool filter, ill say 15 years old. Pentair LNS. 25k gallons.
Working on opening this year and ive had problems with air getting in my filter pot.
I had to replace my multivalve this season and had to rerun piping as well. Used silicone where needed on all of the fittings as well as teflon tape on all of the threads. I systematically went through each fitting and made sure it was sound, no bubbles or air in the filter just to come back an hour later to it having returned. Each junction from the unions to where the valve flows to and from the filter. Do I have a pinhole leak somewhere? Pad is bone dry. I did remove a section of pipe that held an inline chlorine feeder, could that have upped water velocity? Or am I over complicating things and...yeah.
Thoughts?
