My jets stopped working yesterday. I have tried backwashing but hardly any water comes out, or it sputters out. When I turn the filter back on the jets will sometimes work well for a short time (but it sounds like there is air in the line) and then they will stop again.

It seems there is on again, off again pressure and I may have a leak in the line? I have checked all around the pump assembly and there doesn't seem to be a leak there.

On the other hand, my water is perfect with the BBB method!

I have an ingound, and a Hayward Self Priming Super Pump with a Tagelus Sand Filter. The pool is 27 years old, the pump is two years old (replaced when I bought the house). I have never changed or cleaned the sand.


Thanks for any suggestions,
Janis
