    Too much air is getting in the lines. See other reasons below.

    The strainer cover is loose or the gasket is damaged; check and replace the cover or gasket if necessary.

    * The pool water level may be too low allowing air to mix with water through the skimmer, you will need to raise the water level.
    * The skimmer weir, sometimes called the flapper, may be stuck in the up position, allowing air to mix with water in the suction line.
    * There can be a leak at any connection in the suction piping or a leak inside any suction side valve at the stem o-ring.
    * Also, there may be a leak in the underground piping, caused by a loose joint, or termites/ants that will chew into some flexible piping.
