Possible Causes
Pump programmed at too low speed on variable-speed Speck models, Short daily run time, Partially clogged impeller or strainer, Incorrect filter sizing or media condition
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off pump before opening lids or filters.
Hydraulic optimization:
- Clean the Speck pump strainer basket and inspect the impeller for partial blockage.
- Backwash or clean the filter to restore performance.
Adjust operation:
- On variable-speed Speck pumps, increase the filtration speed or extend the daily run time to achieve at least one full pool turnover per day (often 8–12 hours).
- Verify that the filter size and media (sand, cartridge) are appropriate for the pump flow rate.
