water circulation suddenly stopped. The pump is running but no circulation.
DE filter is clean, skimmer basket and pump basket is clean.
what could be the problem?
thanx in advance
pump running, but no circulation
make sure all of your jandy valves are open. If there is no suction, your pressure gauge should be pinned high. shut down so you don't burn out your pump. check the basket that is attached to the line side of your pump.
values are open - still no circulation
any more suggestions?
what does filter pressure read?
you can take pump lid off & lube O-ring then add water to basket then close & start pump to see if it reprimes.
If this does not help you can check for clog between skimmer & pump.
take pump lid off & insert garden hose with drain-king on the end into pipe comming from skimmer & turn on water which will push anything clogging pipe back out at skimmer. You can also use air compressor with nozzle that blows air with old shirt/towle rapped around it.
third thing check impeller, take off pump lid & take out pump basket then take your finger/small screw driver & turn impeller which is small hole at the bottom. It should turn freely & normally you would feel debris if theres any.
clogged
what is a drain king i am going to try this in hopes of unclogging it
