My Pool: The pool is a 50,000ltr concrete inground with a sand filter. It is a "Figure 8" shape with two steps at the shallow end. There is 3 options for the return water, two side wall jets, 3 in floor returns and or a water fall at the shallow end. The pool has a pebble Crete finish.

Vacum Line

I suspect that I have a fault with my vac line between pump and skimmer box. Whenever I try to use my pool cleaner it seems to put a load on vac side resulting in cleaner coming to a stand still or travelling very slow. The other thing is the pump cavitates plus a large number of bubbles rising from floor returns. Help

As per your other post check out connecting to the skimmer to see if it is the vacuum line
The vacuum puts an extra load on the system and if the air leak is near the pump it will do the same as vacuum
