IntelliFlo VS pump won't prime after I cleaned out the filters (pentair CCP). equipment pad is a long ways from the pool but the filter basket is half full of water when I try to prime. I've let the hose run for several minutes to make sure there's water in the supply lines and have opened the air relief valve on the filter. priming at top speed (3100 rpm) and it'll occasionally get the basket full of water and looking good but then 'backwashes' (not sure of the actual term) and is then unable to suck enough water back in to complete the prime. I did clean the salt cell at the same time but everything looks good and tight. o-rings on the filter lid, etc.. are all in good working condition and appears to have a good seal.
any other tips from the masses?

I did check the impeller for blockage as well.. nothing at least when accessed from the filter basket side.
