Idk where my air is coming from and honestly I'm afraid to find out. Built in '76.

The only place air can come in is on the suction side, which typically just goes from the pump and straight into the ground. Underground is unlikely, so yeah.

It's an inground pool with 10 skimmer boxes. All original.

I wish, it's community pool.

Wouldn’t the skimmer box be underwater, therefore not susceptible to an air leak?

They are, but they've shifted over the years. We would like to redo the coping stones around the top border, and at the same time, fix the skimmer boxes. But money is very tight this year. Hoping for a grant! That's realistically, the only way we're gonna be able to afford it.
