Hi all
I am pretty sure my pool recently developed a suction side leak or potentially skimmer issues/air getting in to skimmer
VSP running 2100 RPM (9 PSI with clean filter) - the pump lids starts off with a few bubbles, and within a 3-4 hours those bubbles have increased in size
no actual bubbles coming from the returns, but a very faint sound, if underwater, of air.
With RPM on 1800, significantly more bubbles and what sounds like air in the top of the filter, almost like a crackling sound.
What is also interesting is that is doesn't seem to be constant, there was a few days last week where i was certain no air was entering the system. I also increased the water level above the skimmer and everything was fine(but could have just been a coincidence). Water level currently at or above halfway of the skimmer, maybe 60% above.
I have a 3 way jandy valve and can post pics/videos of whatever.
I can post pictures; have someone coming out 6/14 but $325 just for the testing alone is pretty steep and i would like to figure this out if possible. I have used them in the past for underground suction side leak.
I tried the hose trick and had the same issues. I have not changed the drained plugs yet.
Please help!
