Hello all, I'm a new pool owner. Thanks for all the great info here. I have a question about priming the pump. Due to construction for install and now landscaping and more tree removal, I am needing to empty the pump skimmer pretty frequently.
I'm worried about how long it takes to pull water back into the pump. I fill the pump back ip with water before sealing the see through lid, but when I start the system that water is immediately pulled into the filter and the pull pnrunsbdry for 20 to 45 seconds as its pulling water. I worry that this is too long and will shorten the life of the pump.
Is this ok or am i right to be concerned? Also what would be a good solution?
