Air Constantly Blowing Into Pool Through Return Jets

Recommended Posts

I had this problem after replacing my pump.

It turned out to be the O ring seal on the filter basket.

The installer tryed for 2 days then gave up.

As the bubbles came into the system the air must have been entering before the pump on the suction side if it was on the pressure site it would be a leak out.

I went to the pool shop and bought 3 new gasket rings.

The first one i fitted just the same, the second one i fitted i coated in vasalene (Patroliem Jelly) this worked a treat.

Instantly cured.

I told the swimming pool fitter but he said i was wrong even though it was cured.

He had put 2 new O rings on but it had still leaked.

He said that he had sent his wife to the temple to light some Josh sticks and it was probably that that had helped.

HA-HO!!!

Many on here will tell you not to use Vaseline, it'll degrade the rubber seal.

 

You can get silicone grease from HomePro.
