People,
(correction: "after", not "sfter" in title)
Dry hot weather, pool evaporated some in 3 weeks, forgot to add a few inches of water, pump kicks on in the morning, lost its prime apparently, and could not prime cuz water level probably too low, and ran all day long "dry". Noticed it around 4PM, shut off motor.
So I opened leaf trap to prime with a gallon water, turned pump on, it primed OK, and now notice a leak between the pump and the pump side of the half impeller housing (if I explained that well). I split the housing, and O ring seems oK and tight. The leak was though, farther back toward the pump- almost at the first seam where the pump butts up to that metallic housing gismoo. Is there another seal in there that could have "melted" ?
Thanks!
