Hi
We have a Problem with our Pool & really need someone who knows there stuff please.
Have had a couple of Pool people around who didn't have a clue, re Air in the Vacuum, have changed the Pool hose & Pole still a problem but suction when hose disconnected perfect no air?.
Thanks in advance.

Steve - whenever I turn the vacuum on there is always some air than comes through. I think it i all to do with how the pipes are set up (the vacuum pipe is the highest so any air in the system makes it's way there somehow). However, after a short while the air clears. Sometimes if there is a lot of air I shut off the drain valve very slowly so that there is always enough water to avoid straining the pump. I then turn the pump of and release the air from the little air release hole on top of the filter.
To be honest I regularly get air in the system (via the skimmers if the level falls) but it doesn't seem to damage the pump (7 years old and still going strong)
Problem solved by Paul. Thanks for replies.
