pump not priming

This morning, I went to do my regular backwash. The worst mistake of my life. The pool has been working fine all season, except at the beggining where I also couldnt prime it and the company who built my pool came to prime it for me with a secondary pump that hooked up to the skimmer. After i...

Hi All, I have the Waterway PD140 (~6 months old, my last one's motor gave out) and as the title says for a couple months, I've been experiencing the pump not fully priming, the filter reads at 0 PSI, there is fairly low suction and return pressure, and I sometimes see air bubbles in the pool -...

I just setup the intex 2500 pump for our outside stock tank pool. I used to use it with the two pieces dangling but now I have drilled the holes and installed things similar to how "hey wanderer" did their stock tank pool but I have a more high powered pump. When I used the pump before it worked...

I just purchased a home with a pool. I’ve messed something up, and I’m trying to figure out what (and how to fix it)! The problem is that the pump is running, but no water is moving. I’ve tried switching modes between filter, backwash, and rinse, but can’t get any sign of movement in the...

Trying to get my pool going for the summer. I have a 25k gallon pool with a Hayward super pump and sand filter. I have a skimmer and bottom drain. I knew we had to change the sand this year so we did that. Filled the pool up, hooked up pump, filter, and piping. Filled the pump basket with the...

Not sure what I'm missing. I feel like I struggled a bit last year, but eventually got it. But today it's just not happening for some reason. I've followed all the instructions I can find at various places. I've tried with the pool drain, I've tried with the shallow skimmer. I've tried with...

About a week after opening my pool, the pump stopped priming when it turns on. I've tried a bunch of things trying to find an air leak on the suction side above ground. There is very little piping above ground before the pump. I have 1 main drain and 1 skimmer, changing to block either has zero...

I am hoping someone can help me here. I've been banging my head against a wall on this the past two days. Background: The bearings / seal were shot on my ~10 year old WhisperFlo pump. The sound became ungodly, and it was slowly leaking water, so I bit the bullet on Thursday and pulled the motor...

First, thanks for any help you can give. I searched the forum and couldn't find an answer to my issue. I have a 2hp pool pump for my 20,000 gal inground pool that is only one summer old (Pump installed at the beginning of last summer, pool is 10 years old). Opening the pool, I noticed a small...
