Air bubbles coming from return (from crack in pump pot)

[AnnaK]

Just wanted to give a quick update.

There is probably a leak in the pot housing. It's dry around the plug but water collects on the lip at the very bottom of the pot. We turned off the pump, closed all the valves, drained and dried the pot and inspected it as best we coul. No cracks that we could feel or see.

After everything was put pack together and the pot filled and closed, dang it if water didn't appear on the lip again! So there is a leak but I just cannot imagine it would shoot as many air bubbles as what I get when there's suction. It makes a visible, opaque stream of tiny little bubbles.

So . . . waiting for the weekend to work on this some more.
