Pump not priming
My neighbor just got a AG pool installed. I was over there tonight helping her set up the Proline sand filter & 1hp pump.
Everything went smooth until time to vacuum. As soon as air got into the pump the pump went almost totally dry and wouldn't fill with water again. The vacuum was literally stuck to the bottom of the pool floor so I quickly undid the vacuum and let the filter return to normal.
The pump however would not fill back up with water and the pressure dropped to 0. I had to turn off the pump and open the pump cover to let the air escape and refill. I tried vacuuming again and same thing happened so I told her to just let the filter run and I would ask my friends on this forum
I'm at a loss because my pump will always fill back up with water once it gets low.
