I think I have a suction side air leak.
I have air in the basket of my Super Pump and low flow. Basket has large visible bubbles within a minute or two of starting the pump and is half empty within 15-20 minutes. I've checked all the usual culprits with incense, water, and cellphane with no result. All of this was while the diverter was in filter mode. I can't find the leak yet.
HOWEVER....
When I slide the diverter over and do a backwash, I have zero problems on the suction side. Basket is completely full of water, no air even after a few minutes.
Bad diverter? Doesn't make sense but.... ????
