The pump/filter was running and made a clicking noise that I had never heard before. The water had drained out almost to the bottom of the skimmer. I refilled the pool and since then the pressure going into the pool and sucking out of the pool is low. I cleaned the filters - cleaned the sand, it is ok. It still runs, but not like it should, I have bypassed the solar because of the low pressure. Could the impeller have broken when the water was low? The filter seems fine. The pump sounds fine and is running, it is somewhat hot to the touch.....but I dont know if it was always hot...it's not HOT HOT
