Re: Cartridge Filter-Outlet hose screen fills w/ debris dail
For that matter, because both pumps always turn on simultaneously, would the booster tend to draw from the returns *anytime* the main pump is not fully primed? (Such as when I have removed lid and strainer basket for routine cleaning)Beez said:AHA! I think you may be on to something here...check me out on this...Melt In The Sun said:Beez, if your booster ever runs without the main pump on, it will suck unfiltered water in through the returns; that could cause what you're seeing.
My booster cannot run without main pump on, because they are wired together. However, I *did* have a suction leak earlier that caused partial starving of the main pump. In that situation, is it possible that the booster pump actually sucked water in from the returns?
