    New Hayward EchoStar on old pool won't prime

    All great comments and all make sense. From the last elbow to the intake there is 10" but it's not clean all the way so that could cause some friction/stoppage of water. I think I will leave it the way it is right now and in the mean time, build a replacement. Not a real big fan of the way...

    New Hayward EchoStar on old pool won't prime
