Newly installed pool and pump. for the first two-three days the pump primed and stayed prime the entire time.
Today i noticed the pump had no water in it so it lost its prime and i shut it off. i then restarted it and it primed without issue but 2 hours later lost the prime again and the pump basket was half full of water. just shut it off and restarted and it primed no problem but the basket will start to go to half full in the pump.
You can see water coming into the pump basket. but its only half full.
any ideas why a pump would have no issues priming, but the basket not be full of water several hours later?
