I hope someone here can help me. I am baffled by my most recent
problems.
My pump and filter both worked great last year, but this year it doesn't
seem to do the job as quietly, or as well. The filter seems to be
making
a
lot of air bubble sounds on the return side. There are air bubbles
coming
out the return with the water. Any ideas what might be causing this?
What
can I do to eliminate this problem?
There should be an air release valve on the filter housing. With the pump
running, open the valve until all the air escapes and water starts
shooting
out.
You do have the correct water level in the pool, don't you?
Yes, I have the correct water level in the pool, but I don't believe I've
ever seen an 'air release valve' on the filter housing. But I'll check
today to make sure. If there isn't one, is there any other way to do this?
This problem is preventing my automatic pool cleaners from doing a good job.
It's been very windy here and the pool is a mess!
Thanks,
Brigitte
