No flow to booster pump
I've just replaced a burnt out booster pump motor and realized that there is no flow to the inlet on the booster. This is probably why the old pump burnt out. The main pump works fine and there is lots of flow at the waterfall and pool outlet nozzles. Any suggestions on how to trouble shoot the lack of water to the booster pump?

Hi Mike, welcome to the Forum. Can you give us more information, such as how big your system is, In-Ground or Above Ground etc. Maybe you can send photos to poolforum@gmail.com

It's going to be pretty hard, without comprehensive photos of your piping.
It could be a broken valve, a plugged or collapsed line, or simply a valve in the wrong position.
BTG is right -- send photos.
