Sorry, we tend to take short cuts with vocabulary, especially this time of year. Yes, the technical name for the flapper is a "weir" -- I won't bother you with an explanation of why. AG = above-ground; IG = in-ground.

By the way, if you keep the pool full (and fix the 'flapper') you normally won't have to work about priming.

Glad you found the problem, though.
