floor cleaning pump not priming

Postby dannyboyjames1981 » Mon 31 Jul, 2017 19:50

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.

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.
