Did a bit of research on what the spider gasket is. It didn't look that complicated. I'll be taking off the screws and checking it today or tomorrow. If that's the issue, I'll change it. If it's the pump shaft seal, I don't think I'll do anything as it's inside the pump.

spider gasket? is this a big issue.. costly??

okay guys, update. so i shut off the pump and tried to listen silently. so from all the joints, i didn't hear anything.. no air leak or anything. However, i placed my ear on the dial/valve area of the sand filter.. u know the dial u turn to select filter, backwash, drain, whirlpool.... that...

Okay, so I stopped the pumped and watched for leaks. Didn't really see anything. The water in the pump basket didn't really go down. Just a little. I waited 6 hours.. Came back and water level is the same. I turned on the pump and it seemed to have retained prime somewhat. I noticed after I...

Thank you. Will try the steps above and will report back.

I turned off the pump but I don't see any air getting in. There is still water in the pump basket when I turn it off. However, if I come back after 30 min, the water is almost gone from the pump basket. Where else can I check for else. I made sure the lid is extremely tight. Is there...

Hey guys, So here is the deal. I run my pump for 5 days straight and it's going strong. No issues at all. I look at the pump basket and I can see water topped up and everything. If I turn off the pump and I turn it on next day or even few hours, I will lose prime. I have to go back to the pool...

Ok I will try that now and report back. Thanks

Hi there, I do not have a main drain. On the skimmer, there are 2 holes. One is closed and the other one is the one which goes to the pump. The equipment is above water level. The pipe goes up a little mini hill.

Any help/suggestions?

Hi guys, I finally closed my pool today. I feel pretty good but I still have some questions. So, after my water was below skimmer, I plugged the shop vac in the skimmer hole and blew the lines. I noticed my first return line bubbling so I plugged that. Then my other rerun line started to...

Ok perfect. I have a gauge in the compressor that says psi and numbers. What psi should I go up to?
