Consequently, why is my pool pump blowing air bubbles?
A stream of bubbles is a sign of the unwanted presence of air within our pool’s plumbing system. This air is likely the cause of a sucking air leak from a pump, union or diverter gasket. The leaks and the air pockets they form will lower water pressure and greatly decrease the capacity of our filter system.

Should air bubbles come out of pool jets?
Do you see air bubbles shooting out of the return jets in your pool? As whimsical as it may look, it’s not a good thing. The return jets should be returning water to the pool. It’s a common problem, especially when you open your pool in the spring, and it has a simple cause: there’s air in the pool pump.
When should I bleed the air in my pool filter?
When There is a Buildup of Pressure
You can check the pool filter pressure gauge. If the filter pressure gauge reads more than 5-10 psi above the normal reading, you should bleed the air. “Normal” pressure from varies from pool to pool.
How long does it take to bleed air out of pool filter?
7) Bleed the Air from the Filter
On the filter canister or housing in your pool, you’ll see one or two air pressure release valves. With the pump running, the valve(s) should be opened until water flows out (20-40 seconds). Close it when done.
