Just a few days ago I cleaned the cartridge filters but for some reason mucky water back flowed into the pump basket as the filter compartment was draining. So with the drain plug still removed from filter, I briefly ran the pump to clear the mucky water. After cleaning the filters I ran in pool mode and spa mode no problems.
Today the pump ran on schedule no problems until 1pm. At 7pm when I went to start filter pump it sounded dry, and I noticed low water level in the pump basket as it was trying to pump. The pressure gauge was reading zero. My skimmer basket was at the normal water level. I tried 2 times to get it running but no luck. It wasn't pulling enough water into the pump basket. So I poured water in the basket, and this time it worked.
Now I am left wondering if I have a problem? Any thoughts to ease my mind, or should I be worried.
