I have a brand new JANDY VSFHP185DA2A and am emptying the pool to prepare for the new liner. I have the skimmer line off and the bottom drain line open. I've been running for four hours at a time or so at 2750 RPM. I'm down to about a foot left (9' deep pool), and the pump doesn't seem to prime when I start it now. Just runs for about five minutes without any water flowing in before I shut it down. On the app the RPM's and power seem normal. Is this to be expected at this point? I didn't want to experiment with higher RPM's.
The pool is significantly above the water table level and was built in a backfilled area, so that's good.
