Why won’t my pool pump keep pressure?

Why won’t my pool pump keep pressure? It could be something blocking it, a dirty pool filter, or too much air in the system. If there’s something blocking your pump’s suction, check your filter gauge. If it’s 10psi above the normal reading, clean your filter. This will reduce pressure and reset your pump’s flow.

What maintenance is required for a saltwater pool?

What maintenance is required for a saltwater pool? To maintain a salt water pool you’ll need to keep your filter, pump, and skimmer clean and in good operating condition. With salt water pools, you must inspect the salt chlorinator cell and replace it when needed. Test regularly for proper water chemistry to maintain clean, clear pool water.

Why does my pool pump have no pressure?

Why does my pool pump have no pressure? If the pool water level gets too low, the pump will suck in air, leading to low water pressure in the filter system. To fix this, check the skimmer opening in the pool. If the water is below the skimmer, that’s why you have a low pressure in the pool filter. You’ll need to top up the pool with water to the ideal level.

What speed should you run your variable speed pool pump at?

What speed should you run your variable speed pool pump at? If you are running your pool pump to filter and turn your water over, we recommend using the middle and lower speed settings.
