None of my returns have eyeballs. The 2 closest to the plumbing have strong streams (1&2), 2 furthest have weak streams (3&4). Would the lack of eyeballs create this disparity?

Included a pic of the pool and equipment

Welcome to TFP.


No.

It is the way it is plumbed at the pool.

Makes no difference where water gets into the pool.
Thanks! Noted.

Well I have lots of bubbles in 1 & 2 which I never noticed as the pool always runs in pool/spa mode. Recently found a leak in the spa so only have water pulling and going into the pool. With the switch, the bubbles have become really noticeable. Thought maybe the lack of eyeballs was allowing most of the volume/pressure to come to the 2 nearest returns. But I’ve replaced the gasket on the pump basket and checked all the couplings for the leaks. Only thing I haven’t done is change the o rings at the 3 way on the suction. Did the soap test and didn’t see any air leaks at equipment.

Just trying to tackle these air bubbles!

What does the pump basket look like when the pump is running? How much air in it?
