Possible Causes
Air trapped in suction line, Pump not properly primed after refill, Closed suction valve, Loose pump union drawing air
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power at the GFCI breaker before loosening any unions.
- Verify water level: Ensure water is above all suction fittings and skimmer.
- Open valves: Confirm all suction and return valves to the pump are fully open.
- Bleed pump: Loosen the union on the pump discharge side until air escapes and water begins to seep, then retighten.
- Restart pump: Restore power and run the pump. Repeat bleeding if necessary until water flow is restored.
If the pump still will not prime, there may be a suction-side leak or internal pump issue requiring service.
