Hi all!! I am experiencing problems with my pentair pump. The pool seems to operate normal when both skimmer and main drain are pulling water. The problem comes when I switch the diverter valve to skimmer only. The water level in the strainer basket immediately drops by 20% or so then the pool slowly loses pressure. Once the diverter valve is turned back to both skimmer and main drain the pool will recover and seems to run fine. The same thing happens if I turn the diverter to main drain only. The pool also loses prime if turned off for more than 30 mins to an hour. When the pool is running, there are no air bubbles in the strainer basket. We recently replaced the strainer lid and gasket and also replaced a gasket in the diverter valve. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
