The Intelliflo VSF on my new pool reprimes itself every once in awhile - no idea how often, I just catch it once in awhile. This morning it was retrying to re-prime and failing over and over. Even though the water level was above the skimmer weir, it wasn't high enough to keep air from being sucked in during the priming process. I added a couple of inches of water.
I have never had this issue before with two pools, but never had a variable speed pump before. Wondering if I should change any setting? Currently the flow is set at 30 GPM, wondering if that's not enough to clear air that accumulates in the system. Should the priming speed somehow be adjusted down? I don't think it would be as likely to clear out the skimmer of water and suck air, but I'm guessing that could also be counterproductive.
