Hi all! I got a new Pentair VSP 2 years ago. Last year on startup it was fried and they replaced. Wouldn’t pull water. This year it’s running, but no water is pulling through. I’m afraid I will damage it leaving it running.
I poured water in the basket, lid on tight. No plugs in skimmers. Running at 2300 RPM. How long should it take for pressure to build and water to pull? I had a new pool company open it up for me this year. The water is cold (I’m in the northeast), but not sure if that would impact it?
Just trying to get it running to I can get to cleaning it and circulating the shock and stuff.
Any thoughts? I hate opening the pump ever, even to empty the basket, because it always takes a long time to start pulling. It is up at a slightly higher elevation than the pool.
