Possible Causes
Undersized suction plumbing, Long suction runs with many elbows, Dirty skimmer/pump baskets, Partially closed suction valve
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before cleaning baskets or adjusting valves.
- Clean all baskets:
- Empty skimmer and pump baskets to reduce restriction.
- Open suction valves fully:
- Ensure all suction Jandy valves are fully open.
- Reduce pump speed:
- On VS pumps, lower RPM to reduce cavitation while still achieving required turnover.
- Long-term solution:
- If plumbing is undersized, consult a pool professional about re-piping or adjusting pump sizing.
