    Default Suction Leak Causes Pump Priming Problems

    Hello I had to replace the motor on my pump. I brought it home and hooked it up, added water to prime it and then turned it on. The pump started, but it just will not get water flowing through it. I continue to add water to prime it but nothing happens. I have never had this problem in the past 12 years of opening the pool. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate.
