AIR BUBBLES IN THE PUMP ARE CAUSED BY A LEAK ON THE SUCTION SIDE OF THE PUMP (SKIMMER OR MAIN DRAIN LINE). TO DETERMINE IF YOUR LEAK IS ABOVE GROUND LOOK FOR SPURTS OFF WATER SHOOTING FROM ONE OF THOSE LINES AS YOU TURN THE PUMP OFF. THE SUDDEN STOPPING OF THE WATER FLOW WILL CAUSE IT TO SHOOT OUT OF THE SOURCE. NOTE THAT A LITTLE WATER COMMING FROM THE PUMP LID ON SOME MODELS IS NORMAL AND NOT THE CAUSE OF THE LEAK. IF YOU DO NOT SEE ANYTHING YOUR LEAK MAY BE BELOW GROUND. TO DETERMINE THIS SHUT DOWN ONE LINE AT A TIME TO DETERMINE THE LINE THE AIR IS COMMING FROM. IF YOU HAVE A BROKEN LINE UNDERGROUND YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE A TEST DONE TO LOCATE THE LEAK SO IT CAN BE REPAIRED. HOPE THIS HELPS. FEEL FREE TO E MAIL ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THIS FURTHER.

How can you tell if your pool hoses are letting air into the pool?
The simplest way is by noticing bubbles where the jets go back into the pool area. Air gets trapped underneath water as bubbles, so if you see bubbles, you have a leak in that line from the filter or pump, leading back to the pool. If all your jets are creating bubbles, then there is an air leak in either your pump or filter.
What causes tiny air bubbles from circulating jets?
If you have a saline purification system on the pool, the tiny bubbles are the hydrogen by-product of the saline process. If the pool is not saline, bubbles must be coming from an air leak pool probably located on the suction side of the pump (leaf trap lid, for example).
How do you see if pool pump's sucking air?
Check for air bubbles at the inlet. If you know approximately where the leak is, you can put shaving cream on it and a dimple will appear
Pool filled by hose went cloudy?
probably just air bubbles. probably just air bubbles. probably just some air bubbles.
Why would you get air bubbling up through the skimmer when you turn off the pump to your above ground pool?
Check the gasket on your pump basket housing thingee. If that is old, or dry rotted it may be letting air in and causing you to gain the air bubbles.
How can you get rid of bubbles coming out of the pool jets?
If you have a saline system (salt water pool) tiny hydrogen bubbles will appear in the water being returned to the pool. This is normal and shows that your saline system is working well. If you don't have a salt system, the bubbles are a result of air leaks usually originating on the suction side of the pump - like at the leaf pot.
What causes small air bubble on walls of pool liner?
Air bubbles in the water....
What does mean when the pool cloudy?
If you just had your filers changed, then its just Bubbles (air) but if not then call your pool guy!!
If you have an inground swimming pool system that has an air leak and the pressure is 12 psi with no water leaks how can you find out where the air is coming from?
Do you have air bubbles coming back to the pool thru the return lines? If so, you have a suction leak. Could be between the skimmer, maindrain, at the pool pump. Most likely place to start is the pump. Check the lid o-ring for proper seat and fit. Check the pump seal. Check any fitting that goes into the pump pot - in and out plumbing plus small plugs at the base of the pump. K
How do you inflate a swimming pool?
Pump air in it with a bicycle wheel pump
Can a water pump cause air bubbles?
No. If you are getting air bubbles in the cooling system, you probaby have a bad head gasket or a cracked head.
If you recently changed a leakly gasket in jandy pool pump it now works great but now have constant little air bubbles coming into pool via the return pipes what is the cause and how to fix problem?
The air bubbles generally mean you still have an air leak either in the lid not being tight or the intake fitting not being tight. Here's how you tell! Be out by your pump when the power to pump is shut off if there is an air leak there there will be drips of water coming out, Just tighten the fitting or the lid just tiny amounts until the leak stops. 90 percent air leaks are from there. Redo the gaskets and pump seal.
