Hi All,
Could use some advice on our new pool construction.
We have 3 "Spa" returns on a 2" pipe with its own valve plumbed all the way back to the pump for our bench seats. It also has a 2" air pipe plumbed all the way back to the pool equipment. Air and water pipes both about 80' from the pool. Non-spa pool returns on their own pipe a valve. Pipes are fully covered with cement and travertine at this point. There is one section I could possibly get to about 40 feet between the pool equipment.
Scenario 1. - Pool valve open, spa valve closed, and a shop vac blowing on the air line, bubbles (way too much) come out of the spa jets and no water.
Scenario 2- With the spa valve open and pool valve closed, water comes out the air pipe (a lot) and the jets also push some water back to the pool. Scenario 2a. - shop vac blowing on the air pipe has no impact, water squirts out anyway.
Thoughts?
