No water flowing through pump

Pump and filter were running fine yesterday, got up this morning and there is no water flow through the pump. We cleaned out the skimmer basket and the hair/lint basket, and reprimed the pump but still nothing. Help!

SOURCE: pool pump won't prime

check for air leaks, cover o-ring is common culprit. anything in front of pump can cause this.

SOURCE: low water flow

1. If your filter hasn't been backwashed, that's a good place to start. 2. If you haven't done a seasonal disassembly and washout of your filter, that will allow a residual to build up and keep your flow low. 3. The control selector valve...you may want to open that up and make sure there's no blockage in there as well... only as a last resort. 4. Also, remove the basket in the pump and reach in to the intake port and check for debris...that'll do it too. Let me know if you get the pressure back up! K

Before doing anything else, I would replace the impeller.

SOURCE: only one pool return is working, there is no

With the pump off and the basket out reach inside the pump with some needlenose pliers and see if something is clogging the impeller. It will be inside the hole behind the pump basket and will feel spongey when you reach in there. If so work it counter clockwise and when it loostens up pull it out with the pliers. Hope this helps.

Low flow rate

You probably have debris clogged in the impeller. The pump has to be opened to clean or repair the impeller.

Intex pump flowrate drops

you may have a dirty filter. Check your filter to be sure. Remove the filter from the pool equipment and see if it runs fine for longer period of time. The filter would be the only restriction in your Intex system for water flow.

Bosch 300 washer: water not pumping water out. cleaned trap and no change. removed pump and applied 120V to it and pump runs fine. put all back together and still get no water pumping out. help!!

Hello,

A lot of times what i have found when servicing that issue is when the pump filter is clear what i have found is that something is stuck in the outer tub where the water is supposed to flow into the pump, so the water never even flows into the pump.you could check that by removing the hose that feeds the pump from the outer tub and check for blockage there

I hope this helps,

Yesterday, I noticed that the Hayward pool sweep wasn't moving, nor was there any water flowing from the outlets in the pool. I cleaned both baskets - nothing. I installed 4 brand new cartridge filters -...

A pump motor running without any flow of water is one of two things. The impeller inside the pump that is connected to the motor is broken or clogged. Open up the pump and inspect the impeller for debris or seperation and clean or replace as needed.

I have a 1hp sta-rite above ground pool pump. The pump model number is MPRA6E-147L The pump is about 4 years old, and during our summers it runs about 12 hours a day (May through September) and during...

It sounds like there was a lack of water to the reservoir, which is, I assume the inlet reservoir with the basket strainer in it.
1. Is your water level in the pool high enough to keep the reservoir full?
2. There is an o-ring or gasket on the reservoir cover, is it there and lubricated so there is no air leakage?
3. Put a garden hose into the open reservoir to see if the pump moves this water out.
Do all of this with the filter set to just go back to the pool so you can see the results.
Try this and comment back.
Good Luck,
Gary

Digital read out....fault high ref pressure.

Verify circulating pump is on and that there are no water flow restrictions to the heat pump. Make sure all necessary valves are open or in the proper positions to allow proper water flow to the heat pump. Verify filter and skimmers are clean. Check for water level in the pool. This condition may also appear if the heat pump has not been operated for an extended period. To clear the condition, cycle the heat pump, on and off, up to 3 times. If this does not correct the problem, call for service.

No water flow in pump

The impeller in the pump unit could be broken. If there is water flow into the pump, but no flow back to the pool, the impeller is most likely broken.
Make sure the hoses are not hooked up backwards.

Motor starts and pump is not working. No water is flowing at all..what do i need to do?

Water is supposed to flow slightly through the pump without it running so disassemble the wand and cut on water supply, see if water comes out of the wand on-off handle. The motor does not have to be running. Got water flowing? YES - clean out the wand filter or nozzle hole. A partially clogged filter will prevent hi pressure activation.
NO? disassemble pump and clean out chamber paths.

Also - A pressure pump is not suppose to be running and not used for over ten minutes. The pump can overheat from lack of water passing through and damage the pump seals. A clogged wand is the same as not using it while you try to figger out why it doesn't have high pressure. I found my clogged filter and stopped up nozzle but haven't gotten my real high pressure back yet. Sears doesn't sell the valve seal kit but someone does.
