Our pool built 2 months ago and have a question.
I've noticed that when the pump is running and we bleed all of the air out of the cartridge filter, there will be no more air to bleed as long as the pump continues to run. When the pump stops at night and starts again in the morning, there are a few bubble that come out of the jets for a few seconds and if we open the valve on the filter, there's air and we have to bleed it for a few seconds (around 10 seconds). We have a Pentair cartridge filter. Is this normal or should there never be air in there?
There's always water in the pump basket after the pump is off and no air bubbles.
I applied some silicone lubricant to the cartridge filter and pump gaskets this morning, wondering if there was an air leak there. I'll see what happens. I don't see water leaking from anywhere.
