Default My pool pump sucks ...

... air that is. Air is getting into the system and blowing out the return jets like crazy. I can't figure out from where. Water level is fine. I checked the o-ring at the union on the suction side of the pump (did the same at the discharge side although I'm told that shouldn't matter) and I checked the gasket/o-ring on the pump cover. That gasket didn't look the greatest so I'll change it out tomorrow, but it should be good enough not to suck air. The impeller isn't stiff or stuck- it moves freely.

What I did notice and is new, is that the pump doesn't get filled with water like it used to. Would be the water could be seen flowing around at the very top of the cover, but now the level is only about half. Also, the bottom cleaner moves very slowly- and I measure very little suction at the cleaner port (where the hose connects).

I searched the interweb, and did the youtube thing and got some ideas, but nothing made a difference. Any ideas? Thanks.
