Hi guys,
My pressure gauge is oscillating on my filter. Also the check valve is rattling on the in-line chlorinator rainbow 320, I opened it up with the clorinator off and pump running... I could see air bubbles coming up in the water inside the chlorinator.
There is a micro drip leak at the T point after the chlorinator ( two drops of water in 3 hours I tested twice with a parchment paper under it)
But from what I've read, leaks after the filter should only cause water leak not air.
It seems there is air in the filter somehow. After backwash and rinse the gauge stabalizes for a couple hours and then air builds up and makes it oscillate (tested this twice). I took off the pressure gauge to re-seal with teflon and when I removed it there a blast of air that comes out with it.
It has not had any adverse effects on the pool, no air bubbles I can see. I think the air is just having a good time inside the filter and chlorinator.
I plan on replumbing the leaking T this weekend. But I'm concerned it maybe something else. Pool pump basket is full/ no air bubbles in there. Problem seems to start at filter. What do you guys advise I check?
Thank you.
