I'm having a few questions/problems with my pump/filter. I'll try to list them in order
#1 Isn't the pump basket supposed to be filled with water when the pump is on? My water is kind of trickling in to the pump basket and is about 15% full. Nowhere close to the top. I thought its supposed to be near the top most of the time. When I also feel the return jet I feel the water coming out but its not as much as I thought. Its about the same as when I had my 1000 gph intex
1A) Are you supposed to 'bleed' the air from the relief valve every time the pump is turned on?
#2 My pressure stays at about 0-1 is that normal
#3 Is the wier door supposed to alternate between open and closed? mine seems to be closed most of the time.
#4 I think the hoses I bought are causing leaks. I bought 15 foot hoses that were 'cut' but they don't look as good as the pentair 6' hoses that came with the pump, the openings are slightly bigger than the pentair. I used 2 hose clamps and it drips. Thinking of buying the pentair 12 foot hoses and just moving my equipment slightly so 12' fits. Look at how they 'jagged' cut the hoses, would that be the problem?
5 - do bugs like dark liners better than light? wow, in 1 day there were about 50 tiny dead flies in the water.
