This problem is new to me. I have had a pool for almost 20 years and never had to happen. I have lost water pressure. What I have done is:
1. Make sure skimmer basket and pump motor baskets are clear. They are both clear and clean.
2. Checked pump to make sure propellers are not clogged. Propeller is clean and clear.
3. Make sure all hoses are clear. Hoses are clear, not blockage.
4. Checked all connections with soap water to make sure there are no air leaks. No air leaks.
5. Took 7 position valve off of sand filter to make sure there was no cracks, breaks or obstructions. All was good.
Water coming out port in the pool is like a SLOW moving creek (barely coming out). If I put it to backwash, rinse, waste it barely comes out and spits and sputters. When I had the 7 position valve off I turned the pump on to see how well the water left the pump, it shot out. Any advice recommendations? FYI, pool, filter, pump is 2 months old. (in fact pool place gave me a new pump yesterday to put on to see if it was a pump problem so pump is 24 hours old. I tried to attach a video showing how it comes out of backwash port but could not get it to load.
