Pump shows E15 and cannot detect priming, shuts down after a short run

Safety first: Turn off power before opening the pump lid or valves.

• Check water level: Ensure the pool water level is at least halfway up the skimmer opening so the skimmer does not draw air.
• Prime the pump: Close suction and return valves. Remove the Saci pump lid, fill the strainer housing completely with water, replace the lid, then open valves.
• Inspect for air leaks: Check the pump lid O‑ring for cracks or dirt; clean and lubricate with silicone grease. Tighten unions on the suction side and inspect for cracks in fittings.
• Clear suction line: Remove skimmer basket and any suction‑side cleaners. Use a hose or plumbing snake to clear obstructions if flow is restricted.

After correcting issues, restart the pump and watch for a solid water flow. If E15 continues, the dry‑run sensor or control logic may be faulty.
