I have an inground pool with two returns (bottom and skimmer) that pass through an electric heater, then through pump and then through sand filter before returning. Air is entering somewhere in this loop (I can see smaill bubbles in the return jets at the pool and a gurgling sound in the sand filter). If I prime it manually, I get decent pressure (16 psi), but if I turn off the pump, the reservoir just prior to ther pump empties and the only way to start the pump again without damage is to prime it manually again (i.e., timer I just installed is useless). it is a Hayward pump, reservoir is Hayward Model number SP2607X10. Here is a link to view it: http://www.poolsupplyworld.com/poolsupplies/poolpumps/products/SP2607X10.htm?ecmpid=CMPGB&adtype=paid&gclid=CIbS9KKLjbECFUFV4AodWnccEw. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot the air entrance point or to fix the seal on the reservoir? Saw an older locked post on this where it was suggested that jandy valve be checked. What does this valve look like?
Thanks -
