Hi TFP Community,
After enduring a terrible startup this year with many issues and frustrations with the pool company, I have found TFP and am hoping to take more ownership of our pool moving forward. (Test kit already on order...)
Last week, we finally had our pool opened. Since then, our pump (Pentair Superflo VS RJ-45 Plus) has been having intermittent issues drawing water. We have been experimenting with opening and closing flow from main drain and skimmers and it doesn't seem to be isolated to any one draw. We have also been backwashing the sand filter frequently since our pool was very dirty upon opening, and that would seem to resolve the issue for a time. My husband also replaced the O-ring on the filter. However, starting today, the pump now won't draw any water at all.
Any trouble shooting guidance or things we should try next would be much appreciated! Very much a newbie here so assume I know nothing!
