Ok - somewhat success! We wrapped the joints in plastic wrap and the water level in the pump basket rose. Not all the way to the top, but definitely higher. What do we do now? Do we need to take apart the pump and reseal the joints? Or is there something we can put on them to reseal them...

Here’s a few pics. Also included a photo of the 90 elbow. Let me know if I need more pics….

Yes - turning off the swcg doesn’t seem to affect the return Jets at all.

Ok we turned off the swcg and still have a lot of air in the pump basket. :(

I turned the hose on and ran it over the joints. I followed a video I found on youtube. :)

Ok - we just opened the filter valve with the pump on and water came out instantly. Is that good or bad? :)

I do get air bubbles out of the returns (my center one feels like it's much less than in the past, but the other two still work fine). I think the filter gets air in it - how do I determine that? Just open the valve and see if air or water comes out?

Well, I switched to a quick clean cycle and it fills up more, but still not all the way. The skimmer is more than half full and open. The pressure says about 26 (while on the quick clean cycle).

Hey friends. I'm having an issue with my pump basket not filling all the way when priming/running. We called a pool service company out to look at it and they replaced some O-rings on the set up and proclaimed it was fixed, but the next day the pump basket was again super low. We've had this...

They didn’t look corroded. I will change the T cell type - thank you!

Checked the salinity again with my k-1766 and it was 3000 again. Rotated hump down, increased pump speed for an hour. We cleaned the filter and cell yesterday when it had this problem. Rechecked the readings and they are the same. Guess it’s a bad cell 😞 Thank you!

Up until last week, we’ve had no issues. It usually reads the salt higher than it actually is - this is the first time it’s been lower. I measure salinity with my k-1766 kit. The kit measured 3000 yesterday. Here are the readings: Off position: 2000 92 32.4 0 17P 0 AL-1 r1.59 t-15 In auto...

Cell hump down? I’m not sure I know what that means ☺️ I don’t know about the age of the cell. We’ve been in this house for 2 years - so I imagine it’s 3-5 yrs old?

Thank you! I’ll take a look. 2100 (measured salt is about 3000) 87 32.1 0 17P 0 AL - 1 r1.59 t- 15

Yup

Hello! I have 2 questions that are semi related… 1. My SWG has suddenly stopped making chlorine. I left it on super chlorinate for 24 hrs and still reading 0 FAC. We cleaned everything and tried again and still nothing. I suspect the cell needs to be replaced (I have no idea how old it is, but...

Somehow I missed this question/reply - we got it working :) it turned out to be a loose breaker!

Yesterday my husband and I removed our salt cell to clean it for its required maintenance. We let it soak in vinegar for a bit (overnight) and put it back on this morning. We shut the pump off while we did this - not sure if that was necessary, but we did it (turned off the breaker). We took the...

We’ve been out of power for about 1.5 hrs. Should we turn the breaker off to the pump? I’m afraid to drain anything... we did wrap all the pipes.

Hello! We are getting some pretty good rain here today and should probably get around 5-6” total. I’m new to pool ownership so it got me thinking about how I would remove water from my pool if I had to. we don’t have a bottom drain our pool, so I’m thinking my only option is buying a sump pump...

So I purchased the test kits and did my first testing this weekend. The kit says my salt is at 3000, but my meter says it’s at 3700 - does this mean my sensor could be bad? Also, I had been running my generator at 30%, but my Fc was 13.5 😕 with a cya of 60. I turned my chlorine generator...

Thank you for your tips Jim! the return flow is good - I guess? I can feel it and see the water moving, so I’m assuming that’s a good thing. Here are some pics of my system. The pressure was reading 4 or 5 psi when I rant it at 2250rpm.
