Furthermore, why does my pool pump keep getting air?

It’s likely happening because of one of these issues: The pool water level is too low. The strainer pot lid isn’t on tight or its O-ring is loose/absent/compromised. The union between the valves and the pump isn’t tight or its O-ring is loose/absent/compromised.

Similarly, why is my pool pump pulsing? The number one cause of pump surge or pulsing is your classic air leak. The more pressure your pump creates, the easier it is for air to get sucked through even the smallest leaks. And since air poses less resistance than water, it will get sucked by the pump instead of water, causing the pump to pulse.
