Hello Friends,
Hope you're able to help!
So I just noticed that the filter pump is not priming. It comes on but the water keeps filling and filling and doesn't reach over half the bucket (?). I did some sleuthing online and on youtube I found this video where the guy said that the connections might have sprung a leak (melted?) when the pump was pulling too hard (fall, too much foliage Should have been more careful!!!) I do see a ring of water sitting on top of the connections of pipes coming from skimmers to the pump.
But the pump does come on. So does this mean that only the connections need to be replaced?? Can a handy person do this easily? I found a video from "Swimming pool tips" guy on youtube.
Please help! Thanks!
