This issue has been driving me nuts for some time now.
When I turn the my pump off I hear a loud whooshing sound and water backs up through the plumbing and comes out of the skimmer, sometimes with so much force it blows the lid off. It also will push the weir flap up into a stuck position so the next time the pump turns on it has an extra hard time priming.
I've read a lot about it being a suction air leak. I added pool water and it persisted. I changed the pump drain plug and gasket...
Skimmer lid flying off and loud "whooshing" sound heard when pump turned off
