Hey everybody,
Just opened (attempted to open) my in-ground pool up today. It’s my 2nd year doing it, and it went perfectly last year. So I did everything the same. Filled the pool halfway up the skimmer, removed all the plugs, replaced all the seals on the filter and pump housing, filled the pump housing up with water, turned the valve before the housing to allow water flow, and turned filter valve to filter. Everything seemed to go fine. I turned on the pump, and it sounded normal but I noticed it wasn’t building any pressure and I didn’t see any movement of water in the pool.
Looked inside pump housing, and it had sucked all the water I had primed it with into the filter, but none of the water from the pool was being brought in through the pipes. I spent all day troubleshooting it with videos and asking people I know with pools and have come up with nothing. I haven’t noticed any air leaks that could be causing it. The skimmer basket is clean. Any ideas? Thanks!
