Hi all!
First time poster-been an avid follower of the site since buying a house with a pool in January. Everything was going great...until today!
Short version:
After doing backwash today, put valve back to regular flow, turned on pump and added DE...all fine. An hour later noticed leak coming out of pump-turned off everything, re-tightened the basket lid and turned everything back on. Leaks out of several different valves and unions along the entire line. Turned off, re tightened everything I could find, and turned back on. Now it sounds like the pump is on, however water isn't flowing through the pump basket (which I did refill with water before restarting) and the filter isn't running at all (0 psi, and constant sound of air out of the manual bleeder). Also, spa drained down to 1/2 full (usually overflows to pool).
Any ideas or guidance would be welcome...freaking out without filter running because woke up this morning to algae and levels out of whack-trying to get everything under control but now the filter issue seems even bigger!
Thanks,
Bree
