I declare temporary victory. Used the bladder, actually pressure washed the filter, checked impeller. Not sure which did it but running at 2400 rpm @5psi perfectly for now at least.

I guess I suppose that’s quite a bit.

Yes, enough to push debris up and out of the skimmer.

It was dripping a decent drip about once every 10 seconds. Nothing clearing from the lines unless it’s super stuck.

Used the water bladder from pump to skimmer. Found a pretty good drip in the piping into the pool house. Do you think that could be the cause?

Yes, i thought i updated but must have not hit save. Its a couple years old now, the 3/4 pooped out so i snagged a relatively cheap Harris VS https://www.doheny.com/harris-hpe001-inground-vs-variable-speed-pool-pump-one-and-a-half-hp

I took some video today, will post as soon as I figure out how to, now I am unable to get the filter basket to fill fully on any speed. Also ordered the Flusher to give it a go, how do you utilize it to find leaks? 8psi is a hair higher than normal, but expected as I am still clearing out the...

Hello, I have had the least smooth open in my 4 years now. I am on day 3 of SLAM and could just start to see the lowest step. My pump is a new in 2020 doheny VS pump. It sounds normal but has no to very little suction at the skimmer and no pressure from the returns unless it is on boost...

I like being as sustainable as possible so 1hp it is. Now I just have to figure out replumbing but I’ll save that for another post.

would 1hp, be suffecient to also power a potential swg and heat pump down the road? edit: Ill run down and check. I think 240? The control for the pump is the right side.

Ok, I think here is my plan. I am thinking a 1.5hp dual speed, I do need a full new pump as I found a crack in the pump basin. Currently I have no automation, only a switch at the box for on and off. Do I need a timer? Also when I search, it doesnt seem any of the pumps specify if they...

Im still trying to find the source of my leak, I plan to remove the whole pump today for inspection. At this point it is either underground in the lines or somewhere I cant see while its still installed on the pump.
