Re: Pump pot partially drains after shut-off
Al, the pump is well below the water line. It's probably even below the bottom of the pool. This is a new issue that we haven't experienced in our previous 5 seasons.
Ted, I can try to seal the waste line. I may have some expansion plugs in the tool box.
One thing I did notice, moisture inside the gauge. We had taken it off for winter and stored it inside. After installing it again this year it got damp inside. I bought a new one and we put it on, and it got moisture in it as well. So, there's something not quite right here. Is that enough of vacuum break to cause the pump pot to drain down?
There is no water under the pump, on any of the pipes and fittings, anywhere near the filter. The only visible oddity is the moisture in the new gauge. The multiport seal, again???? My filter, alas, is the ONLY Hayward model for which you can't buy just a gasket; you have to get a whole new head.
Oval 12.5K gal AGP; Hayward 19" sand filter; Pentair Dyn 1 HP 2sp pump on timer
