pump loses prime
yes, when the pump lid o-ring gets dry it can suck air & leak air, also sometimes the filter air releif valve can leak which is on top of filter. It's a black-plastic valve with round handle you can unscrew & let air out of filter. If not then I would think you just have press-gauge alone which you can unscrew & retape so you know it's not leaking.
This would be easiest thing to check for, after checking let pump run for 5mins and look at return lines. There should be no air bubbles coming out in water.
