Hi guys,
Just moved into a rental home with a pool (30' x 12'). The pump is a CK2456J-150. The pool people came by and got everything going. The filter basket got filled up with worms and stuff (the house was sitting empty for a long time) and so my good wife turned it off to clean the basket. Now we cannot seem to be able to prime the pump again. The pool guy (we called him) said to fill the reservoir as full as it will go, close the cap and put the filter on recirculate. Start the pump on hi speed (low being the alternative) and it should take (and l quote) "a couple of minutes to prime). We have been out there since 4pm this afternoon and cannot get it primed. If there is something we are missing here then please let us know. BTW, there is a "Y" feed off the back of the reservoir going to two pipes, one labeled MAIN the other labeled SKIM. I am a complete newbie to all this so any help would be very much appreciated.
