I've got a centrifugal and a leak on the suction side (small trickle of air bubbles). The drop line is fresh poly, the leak is most likely in the joints between the poly and the pump, however, it's been hell trying to find the leak and I'm redoing joints left and right and running out of shaving cream.
My question is this: if the drain plug on the bottom of the centrifugal didnt have a good seal would that produce a water leak or a suction air leak? Seems like it'd leak water from what I know about the way the pumps work but I've never opened it up to see exactly how the impeller works in there so I'm curious if anyone had any insight.
