Don't know if the valves in front of the pump are new, but air can be pulled in through the O rings in them, especially the stem O rings that are seldom checked.

I will ask. Can you explain to me what that is and what I should say, please?
My husband isn’t here and I’m feeling at a disadvantage.

This is a straight picture. Is that better?
I looked back at old pictures and those pipes were straight before the new pump and filter install last week.
Should I mention it? What does that do?

500 pounds of sand and 600 pounds of salt.There is no air relief on this filter.
How much salt and how much sand?
I was worn out after

Is that the wrong amounts?500 pounds of sand and 600 pounds of salt.

I only did what I was told told.
0
Brand new switch to SWG
You said 1,600 lbs earlier.
500 + 600 is 1,100 lbs.
It's never zero.
Did you measure it?
Does the plumbing leak? If not and there is a bit of mis-alignment, the Texas heat will cause the pipes to relax. If the pipe to the filter from the pump isn't at a true 90 degrees to the left it will look like that.
New water? Zero salt is virtually impossible in a pool that has been in use.Is that the wrong amounts?
I only did what I was told told.
0
Brand new switch to SWG
What is the model number?

The pool guy said it was zero. I assumed that’s because he tested before he told me to put all the salt in.
I just asked and he didn’t test though. He said it would be 0 because we had never had a SWG before.
I think I’m going to throw up. This is getting worse and worse.

I’m worried there is a leak with all that popping and cracking at the top of the filter and with all the air bubbles in the pump pot. The pot is full but lots of bubbles flying around in there.
I don’t see any water coming out though. He’s still here. Maybe I can figure it out before he goes.

I’m googling but I can’t see where an actuator on a suction valve is supposed to be. I’m sorry. Can you explain it for a poop dummy, please?

Any leak after the pump is on the pressure side of the system and would show as drops and water coming out when the pump is running.
Air only gets into the system when the pump is running from the suction side of the system. The suction side of the system stops at the pump pot.

No, but our OnCommand uses a spa setting to run the bubblers and the slide. The pool guy can’t get them to work. Could what you are talking about be the reason why?
He’s been trying to get the oncommand to work the slide for 2 hours.
Thank you!

Forget what @1poolman1 was asking about an actuator on the suction valve. Your water features actuator lead him to think you had a spa.
I hope your Pool Guy has a direct line to Hayward support. This is where Hayward makes their setup very complicated even to pool guys.

I hate I trusted him about that now, but he is the expert.
I’ve asked him not to turn the SWG on because I know my levels aren’t great yet and I can’t test the salt.
If the salt is way too high, do I backwash to remove some?
