SETUP:
14,000 gallon saltwater pool
Pentair VS Pump
1 Skimmer
5 returns
When I have my vacuum hooked up through my skimmer I am getting air bubbles in my pump basket window. I have checked many of the other posts and tried every possible solution where there was one. I have ordered a new Jandy-type valve (mine is a Pentair) rebuild kit, this is the only thing I haven't fixed, tried or replaced.
Here's when the bubbles occur;
At any pump speed.
Only when Jandy valve is set to SKIMMER ONLY.
When the vacuum is hooked up through the skimmer.
I get no bubbles;
When the Jandy valve is in the middle (both drain and skimmer) and the vacuum is hooked up.
When the Jandy valve is set to drain only - no bubbles, vacuum hooked up but not working (because it's hooked through the skimmer).
I have removed the vacuum from the skimmer with the Jandy valve turned to skimmer only - bubbles
No bubbles when removed and placed in the middle or drain-only position and no vacuum hooked up.
Whether the vacuum is hooked up or not, when I move the Jandy valve to the skimmer-only position I get bubbles in the pump strainer. When the Jandy valve is turned to either both the drain and skimmer or just the drain - no bubbles.
Pretty much at a loss.
