Hi all, purchased a house a while back with a pool. It had a bad pump so I replaced it. I replaced the DE filter as well there was no saving it. It seems like it’s getting air in the pump ? There are 2 valves that I don’t know much about you can see in the picture. We used it last year for about three months. I have not got myself real familiar with the backwash and those valves in the picture. Any info we would greatly appreciate it.
Starting up new pump for the first time
