I can't get my floor cleaning pump to prime. I was a certified pool operater years ago and tried all the old tricks but it's been a few years and none of them are working. Pump turns on, is able to pump water when a hose is running water through it, took apart the motor and replaced o-rings and cleaned and still nothing is working. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi, I don't have much knowledge about the pump but I will ask my friend and let you know.
Re: floor cleaning pump not priming
Most priming problems involve leaks in the suction side of the pump (between the pump and the pool) or clogged baskets. If you have a leak on the pressure side (after the pump), it does not affect prime. You just lose water.
