on the top of the filter there should be a pressure dial and behind it is a pressure valve screw which should release the air.

Good morning.
Thank you for replying, but that’s not working. It’s pulling in air from somewhere. Think we might need an expert, so if you or anyone else on here could recommend one that would be good.

Hi, Just a thought, is the hair filter on the pump full of water or has it got some air in it?
Could the lid on this need tightening down? They can draw air from there.
If you've hoovered the pool recently, air can get in that way.
Also if there is air in the filter, it can take quite some time whilst just cracking the valve on top open and running the pump for it to all come out.
One other simple thing, is the water level in the pool high enough that air cannot enter via the skimmers?
Not sure if any of this will help and apologies if you know these things already.

Thanks Glenn
Regarding your thoughts on air entering via the skimmer we have upped the water level fingers crossed it seems to be working
Noticed some brown marks in the bottom (it’s a plastic pool) just shocked it so don’t think it’s spoons but can’t shift them any ideas??

No sorry, the only brown marks I get in my pool (tiled) is dust accumulating which is got rid of by hoovering the bottom.
