Possible Causes

Loose pump lid, Worn lid O-ring, Loose suction unions, Skimmer drawing air due to low water level

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the pump before opening the lid.

  • Raise water level: Top up the pool so that the skimmer weir is fully submerged during operation.
  • Service lid O-ring: Clean, lubricate and, if necessary, replace the AstralPool lid O-ring.
  • Tighten unions: Hand-tighten suction-side unions and inspect for cracks.
  • Check skimmer weir: Ensure the skimmer weir door is not stuck partially closed, which can cause vortexing and air draw.
