Re: pump is losing prime when jandy valve is on skimmer
Put new gaskets on jandy valve, will not raise above 3 psi! lowflow from spa jets.
water level is good, when put my hand over 1 of 2 holes in skimmer, there is good suction, so wouldn't that rule out a bad pump?
I cleaned cartridges, lubed gasket, put silicone on jonts just in case.
Dont the check valves fail open, so thsts not it.
I can see pump basket, water is about half way, sounds as if it almost fills but does not, i lubed new gasket
there are 2 other jandy valves, but are after the heater, filter, so thats not the suction side, should i open anyways.
We appreciate any help, hey thanks
