Good afternoon .... okay... I purchased a pump motor from you. Replaced the old one ...pump worked perfectly...pump motor still works perfectly except it's not drawing enough water to fill the pump reservoir. I replaced the shaft seal (again) I replaced the impeller and impeller o-ring/gasket; replaced the face place o-ring/gasket; replaced the pump reservoir lid o-ring/gasket; took apart the backwash valve and replaced the o-rings and gaskets on that; my pressure went from 10 to 0 and will not even move the needle. I also replaced the pressure gauge and o-ring/gasket. I need to get the pressure up so I can vacuum the pool! I'm not losing any water other than normal evaporation; there are no air leaks on the suction side at any of the joints.... skimmer basket and pump basket are clean .... you're my last hope before I call in an excavation team and fill the pool in with concrete!!! Thanks!
