HELP Please....
I just back washed the pool. When I tried to restart the pump it initially primed, however within a few seconds the strainer basket seemed to empty and the pump was working continually to try to prime it. I thought that maybe the dial I used (can't remember what it is called - you turn it to put it in the backwash position, rice position, etc) was stuck at rince. I manually adjusted it again but that did not fix it. The filter was not receiving anything because the gauge did not register pressure. I replaced the dial last year so it seems weird that it would break?? Ideas? I turned off the pump and am awaiting your ideas.
Thank you for your help!
