Hello,

Luke the semi-professional pool guy here. I have a customer with a leak in their suction side. They have a hayward super pump and one skimmer and no main drain. I have pressure tested the skimmer line. It does not leak. I have replumbed the suction side so I know it is leak free.

The pump will prime up and run for about 3 seconds before losing prime very quickly. I replaced the strainer lid oring to no advail. My thoughts are either a hairline crazy in the strainer housing or a crazy in the strainer lid. Please advise!

Thanks!

Luke
