Possible Causes
Minor suction-side air leak, Low water level causing vortex at skimmer, Loose pump lid, Micro-leak at suction fittings
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before opening the pump or adjusting valves.
Steps to reduce air:
- Raise water level: Ensure pool water is at proper height to prevent vortexing at skimmer.
- Service lid O-ring: Clean, lubricate, and reseat the Jacuzzi pump lid O-ring.
- Tighten suction fittings: Check and tighten unions and threaded fittings on the suction side.
- Bleed filter: Use the filter air relief valve to purge trapped air from the system.
If air persists, a small suction leak may require professional leak detection and repair.
