    Thanks for reading my post PoolDoc.

    The flow into the pump basket is very limited. So it doesn't even fill up completely. Yesterday morning I had about 1-2 PSI, later in the day it built up to about 6-8 but the pump basket is still not entirely full.

    Suction leaks are hard to find. Common locations include:

    + pump basket lid gasket
    + threaded connection to pump
    + unions
    + valve stems
    + cracks in piping
    + 'stuck' skimmer weir flaps (not a 'leak', but still brings air into piping.)
