    Pump not filling up with water

    It was like this the day I opened the pool. The filters are clean and the cartridges are on the 2nd season. The whole setup is only a year old. I do have replacement cartridges I may swap out. I will add this as the next trouble shooting item along with lubing/replacing o rings and gaskets...

    Pump not filling up with water

    When I opened the pool this year I replaced the gaskets on the wide mouth skimmer. I did notice a few of the screw holes on the skimmer had tiny hairline cracks. Pool installer probably tightened too much. I have no leaks on the outside of the skimmer. Would this be the cause if a suction side...

    Pump not filling up with water

    Water line about 3/4 up to the skimmer. The weir door is not as flat as it was so seems to be working better but did not solve my water level in the pump.

    Pump not filling up with water

    1/2 way up the skimmer. Not sure if this is the reason for the pump no filling completely with water. RPM's at 2000. Was thinking the pump is too strong as it's pulling the weir door down too much. Tomorrow I'll add a few more inches of water and see if that helps with the water level in the...

    Pump not filling up with water

    Pool places are so backed up to send out a technician it's crazy. My weir door on my skimmer almost lays flat in towards the basket. Is this normal? When I push it up water gets sucked down fast before I let it go.

    Pump not filling up with water

    Received the new paddles are they are no different then the ones I have. These valves are just not air tight. Anyway I am positive the valves are not causing my pump problem. I think the pump may be the issue. I have a ticket into Hayward and hopefully they will either give me some suggestions...

    Pump not filling up with water

    I have to be honest I'm not very happy with any of the Jandy valves I installed. I do not think they are airtight and supposedly according to Fluidra some valves were shipped with the non-posi paddles. They are sending me replacement paddles that are supposed to be the posi seal ones. I'm not...

    Pump not filling up with water

    Pool pump is just about level with the pool water. Filters are clean. Pool is only open less than a month. No air bubbles at return.

    Pump not filling up with water

    RPMs don't matter. Right now it's filled up with just maybe the size of a mayonnaise cover air bubble. 3 days ago it was filled up pretty good with just a large bubble at the top but yesterday I cleaned out the basket and when the pump started this morning it was about 80% full with water. I...

    Pump not filling up with water

    Thanks for the heads up. It's just a short video showing how much air is at the top of the pool pump basket. It's filled up around 90% with water

    Pump not filling up with water

    Pump is running quiet. Filter is maintaining pressure and not bouncing up/down. When I open the bleeder valve at the the filter no air comes out, just water. Pool lines are burried but did it myself in July last year. Didn't pressure check the suction side but I think I would have seen dirt in...
