Then, 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.
Likewise, should 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.
Accordingly, are air bubbles in pool pump normal?
Small air bubbles in a pool pump are normal and do not pose a problem. When the air bubbles are large or the water level in the pump is low, the pump will not operate properly. Pumps work by sucking water from the pool and then pushing it into the pool’s filter.
