SOURCE: how do you prime the pump for intex ubove ground

THIS HAS PRESSURE ON THE PUMP WHEN IT IS HOOKED UP TO THE POOL , NO PRIMING IS NEEDED. NOW IF IT'S HIGHER THAN THE WATER LINE OF THE POOL THIS KIND OF PUMP WILL NOT WORK , YOU NEED A PUMP THAT HAS A HAIR BASKET . THESE YOU FILL THE BASKET UP AND REPLACE THE LID AND YOU PRIMED IT.. . IF'N I WAS ANY HELP VOTE FOR ME ...THANKS.. JAY

Hello
Check the pump impeller by shuting off pump taking out strainer and putting your fingers in to get any debris out.

After you put strainer back in put a bucket of water in collection basket to prime pump.
Also check your o ring on the strainer lid.If its cracked or worn the pump will not prime,but continue to **** air.
Also be sure your in filter mode before starting the pump up.You may need to lossen strainer lid a little to bleed ot air until water starts to flow again.
Possible bad o ring on stainer or impeller on pump is bad.
You may want to try putting the filter in backwash or drain mode and blow out any air also.
