First off, hello. I just officially joined, I have lurked on this site since we purchased a house with a pool. About 2 years ago. I have been able to answer my own questions by just reading and searching the topics. Now I have a problem I can't seem to whip. I have a new polaris pb4-60 that runs a new polaris 280 pool cleaner. I installed the pump and everything ran smoothly. At first our cleaner pump could be turned on and off by a switch. The problem was it could be left on after the filter pump turned off. Which was a problem. It has since been changed to only come on with the filter pump. But...at some point we ran it dry, probably a few hours. Now the cleaner is barely
moving and it seems to have low pressure. I have no strange noises or leaks. I ordered a new impeller that showed up today but was wrong. I have the newer style impeller. I did pull it apart to check. I was hoping to see a melted impeller or something out of ordinary but it looked OK to my untrained eye. I plan on ordering the correct impeller but want to make sure I am going in the right direction. Everything was working great before we ran it dry. Any info would be great and sorry for the long post.
