Pump runs but filter pressure is very low and there is poor skimming action.

Safety first: Turn off power before opening baskets or valves.

• Clean baskets: Empty the skimmer and AquaJet pump baskets thoroughly.
• Check for line blockage: Use a drain king or plumbing snake (if appropriate) to clear suspected blockages in the suction line.
• Inspect for air leaks: Follow the steps for suction‑side air leak detection and repair.
• Re‑prime and test: Prime the pump and restart, monitoring pressure and skimming performance.
