We just set up a new inflatable pool 10’X24″. I just turned on the pump and there not a lot of pressure at the water return. Is that normal for these small pumps? Also I noticed a small amount of air in the hoses. Should I be concerned about that?

Answer:

Air in the hoses can cause the pressure to drop especially if it is also in your pump. However, the pressure at the return generally is lower with these types of pools if you are used to seeing returns in larger pools.
