What happens if air gets in a pool pump

Air in a pool pump can cause a variety of problems, including:

Reduced water flow: Air pockets can block the flow of water through the pump, which can reduce the efficiency of the pump and the overall performance of the pool.
Pump cavitation: Air bubbles can cause cavitation, which is a process that can damage the pump's impeller and other components.
Pump overheating: Air pockets can also cause the pump to overheat, which can lead to premature failure.
Noisy operation: Air in the pump can create a loud, banging noise.
Reduced energy efficiency: Air in the pump can reduce the energy efficiency of the pump, as the pump has to work harder to overcome the air pockets.

It is important to remove air from the pool pump as soon as possible to prevent these problems. There are a few ways to do this, including:

Bleed the pump: The pump can be bled by opening the bleeder valve on the top of the pump. This will allow air to escape from the pump.
Backwash the filter: Backwashing the filter can help to remove air from the pump. To backwash the filter, turn off the pump and open the backwash valve.
Prime the pump: If the pump is not primed, it will not be able to circulate water and air may get into the pump. To prime the pump, fill the pump with water and then turn it on.
