I have the Hayward Aquabug for my 18' diameter above ground pool. It worked very well for the first year or so, but after I replaced my pump motor, the bug stopped cleaning 100% of my pool. It does not move around the pool as well as it used to, even though it's been serviced by my local pool shop. Another symptom that concerns me is that when the pump is pulling water through the bug, I get a lot of air in my filter housing, and less water return to the pool compared to when the pump is pulling water through the skimmer. This leads me to think that my pump is too powerful for the bug - is that possible? The pump has a
1.5 HP motor. Is it possible that the hoses and bug are restricting flow so much that air is leaking through the hose and pipe connections?Thanks for reading.
