1. Use flow gauge to verify proper flow.
2. Confirm that the main drain is closed.
3. If flow is correct, check diaphragm for blockage, cuts, wear or other damage.
4. Ensure filter is clean, empty pump basket and skimmer basket.
5. Ensure pump is primed. Check for air in the system. If water level in pump basket drops or excessive air bubbles are present, there may be air in the system. This could be due to a leaking pump lid o-ring, leaking valve, holes in cleaner hose, or the water level may be too low. Check hose connections, tighten all fitiings at the pump and check pump lid o-ring for wear.
