I'm trying to figure out a bunch of issues so you may see some different threads from me.
Pool - 12k gallon octagonal in-ground
Pump - 1 HP Hayward Super Flow pump
Filter - Hayward S220T filter
Filter media - ZeoSand #4429 (250 pounds)
2 years ago I replaced the pump
1 year ago I ordered a Hayward S220T filter system and ZeoSand. It worked wonderfully after I finished re-piping but the odd thing I noticed was that I was getting very low pressure readings off the gauge on the valve.
I'm seeing a normal pressure of about 2.5 to 3psi.
When opening the pool the highest I saw was about 7psi and then I backwashed.
Is this an issue? Should I put in a gauge on the suction side to see the negative pressures?
Things I checked:
1. Impeller for any obstruction - there was none
2. Seal on the pump basket - Looked fine. I cleaned it.
3. Drain plug on the pump basket - Tightened it. Do not see any issues
I have the following issues:
1. Returns have air bubbles coming out (this has been happening for years and I can't figure out why)
2. I think I have a leak somewhere as on random occasions my pool will drop 1-2 inches in a day. I can't find any obvious water leaks. The waste line is not wet.
3. Vacuum suction - I don't think it's very powerful. My automatic vacuum does not work and I think it's because there isn't enough suction to drive it. (I tried buying 1 piece hose instead of sectional and priming by filling it with the return as well as submerging it)
