I've had my pool-spa for 20+ years. I use the spa almost every night. I switched over to an intelliflo pump, controller 5 years ago. It's worked great except for the alexa function that disengages for some reason after it's added as a skill.
In the last 6 months, the pump will sometimes not prime all the way especially for the pool at the higher rpms 3500. It's better with the spa 3800, but the spa will also have the issue. The typical auto valves, com air, switch between the pool and spa for use. The pump will keep running, but the basket on the pump will never catch up and fill.
The spa is closer to pump compared to the pool intakes which are another 20 ft away. If I use my phone and switch quickly between spa and pool or pool and spa the pump will typically prime all the way. Some times I need to do this 3 or 4 times
- the level of the pool and hot tub are remaining the same. There doesn't seem to be leakage between the valves...
- I've tried cleaning the filter same issue
- Why would the both the spa and pool have issue with clear intakes... This seems to be an intermittent issue. It doesn't happen every time.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
