Possible Causes

Clogged AquaFlo pump basket, Blocked skimmer or main drain, Severely dirty pool filter, Partially blocked impeller

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before opening the pump or filter.

  • Clean pump basket: Remove the AquaFlo pump lid, take out the strainer basket, and clear all debris. Rinse thoroughly and reinstall.
  • Check skimmers and drains: Empty skimmer baskets and visually inspect main drain covers for obstructions.
  • Service the filter: Backwash sand/DE filters until the sight glass runs clear, or remove and hose off cartridge elements. Replace cartridges if they remain clogged.
  • Inspect impeller: With the pump isolated and drained, remove the motor from the pump housing and inspect the impeller vanes for compacted debris. Clean carefully with a small brush.
