August 16, 20187 yr I cannot figure out what’s wrong. The pool pump doesn’t have water in it. We open the lid, pour in a ton of water until there is visible water in the pump, then it runs okay. Come back later and it a low on water again bathe pump is dry. What in the eff is going on?
August 17, 20187 yr Sounds like a leak in the line, sucking air in from somewhere. Maybe check to make sure your lid seal is good, check your pipes near the pump, etc.? Also, check the fetzer valve. If you have to replace it, prepare it with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads.
