Little indoor hotel job we got called out on.
This pool has had 6 different contractors over the past several years trying to figure it out. Jets were shooting air, the pump could barely prime, new pumps had been installed, and lines were capped off. The general consensus was that it had to be bad plumbing pulling in air from somewhere.
Turns out that wasn’t the case.
We tracked it down to a golf ball, a rock, and a plug lodged right in the plumbing reductions in the equipment room.
After clearing it out, the entire system came back to life.
Pump primes like it should
Filtration system running strong
No more air coming out of the jets
Sometimes it’s not a major failure, just something nobody thought to look for.
Another one solved.
