hr, and we love it it doesw a great job. But I have a skimmer hoked up and sometimes my skimmer breaks the service of the water. Then the truble starts , How do I get the air lock out of the clear pipe? Is there a way to put a air relase valve on it? do you have a kit to put on it? If not don't you think someone should make one and put it on the pumps then sell it as a kit for the ones who do not have one? You people have been very nice and always solved any proplems I haver had and hope it keeps going that way. Art

I,ve had the same problem all last summer! The only solutions I found that work are to fully open the air valve and the sediment valve and let the pool water gush out for approx. 5 minutes, sometimes more than 5 minutes! You end up losing a lot water from the pool, especially if you have to do it every day or evry other day like I did! You can also try back flushing( pul up and down on the intake plunger while the pump is running). That worked a couple of times for me. Also, sometimes flushing the intake hose with high pressured water works, but I didn't have much luck with that!I,ve had the same problem all last summer!

The air should pump itsef through and out if your water level is high enough. Add more water to the pool
