All,
I replaced a broken pool pump with a hand-me-down. My friend filled his pool in with dirt, so I scavenged his equipment. I wired up his pump and it ran so I assumed it works well. I proceeded to plumb it to my pool, but when I run the pump, I cannot get prime. I'm in the process of opening the pool so most lines (we hope) were emply. I disconnected the supply side of the plumbing going to the pool heater, ran the pump, and felt nothing, not air movement at all. Next I disconnected the pump from the plumbing and turn it on. I felt very little suction, and on the other end, very little air moving. i.e. less than a hair dryer. I understand the pool pump is made to pump water, not air, but does this sound like a working pump???
thanks,
SEC
Pool Pump Pressure????
