I just recently installed a hayward superpump (3/4 hp on 115v). Everything had been running fine for a couple weeks until today when I used the manual vacuum. I have had issues in the past with using the vacuum and losing prime but I thought with the new pump and new vacuum hose (just purchased today) I would be okay.
I used the vacuum for about 5 minutes and lost suction. I then backwashed and rinsed my filter, detached the hose and ran filter normally. But still wont prime. I have cleaned both skimmer and strainer baskets, checked the pump cover, checked the pipe fittings, cleaned the impellor, filled the strainer with water and taken the motor off and replaced it again, but still no prime.
At this point I have no clue what to do, please help.
