Hey Handy, how's your pool doing this season?

As a note of general interest, I discounted the impeller because the the problem abates for a while after the pump has been shut off. In my experience, a clogged impeller stays clogged, even after the pump turns off. The filter (not sand filters) can drop congesting debris off the grids or pleats when the pump turns off and run normally for a short time before that debris clogs them again. On a similar note, I discarded the likelihood of the pool water being too low because jameslr didn't mention a ton of air in the pump.


I'm an honest man and will, instead of erasing what I've written so far and editing my previous post - I'll eat some crow and acknowledge that, after re-reading the first post the pressure DROPS instead of RISES.

This leads me to ask if the water is at least 1/2 way up the skimmer mouth and if the skimmer weir is not going down. (& is there a ton of air in the pump after the system has been on for a few minuets)

THANK YOU Handy!, for making me rethink this!!!!
