Seems to be a new adventure everyday! After getting the breaker replaced yesterday (we changed both...breaker for the light as well as the pump). Decided today was as good as any to get the pump and filter going. Filled the basket part of the pump with water, made sure skimmer valve was open, made sure the gasket on the basket lid was good to go, turned the multi-port valve to rinse (there's no air valve on top of filter), pump started right up, whew! However, couldn't get it to prime for anything. I grabbed a towel made sure everything was dry. (While filling up the basket part I dropped the hose and sprayed everything including myself!) Glad no one was there to witness it lol! I did find a few leaks in the pvc lines as well as a steady drip from under the pump. So, I'm thinking new gaskets possibly on the filter? I must say, I'm really just relieved the pump actually turned over. I don't know the last time it was turned on or ran. If anyone has any other thoughts or ideas I look forward to them!

Oh, as well as fixing the leaks in the pvc joints.
