My pump keeps getting starved because leaves are somehow getting past the pump basket and into the impeller..this keeps happening throughout the fall as the leaves enter into the pool..I have a Hayward pump and I put in a new pump basket last summer...it is like new no cracks etc etc....I have one O ring in the cover and its good....once the leaves are cleaned out of the impeller she runs fine....
I am puzzled on how the leaves are able to get past the pump basket.............
I thought that I may have been missing a O ring but from the diagrams on haywards there is only one up in the cover on the pump basket...
I hope I can solve this problem...
Oh btw I believe the majority of the leaves are coming from my POOLVERGNUEGEN "the pool cleaner" off the bottom of the pool...
Thanks in Advance....
ps some have talked about putting a woman nylon stocking over the pump basket but the water pushes on the inlet side and pulls by the pump off the outlet side so I dont see how it could be installed around the pump basket and not be pulled away from it....
