Hi, I'm trying to fully open my pool up and vacuum it, but my pump is not priming. I've checked the pipes and emptied the air out of the filter, but that didn't help me. I'm not sure but i believe that when we first opened up the pool with the pool guy it was working, but I'm not sure. It takes a while to get to the "almost priming level in the video below" but once it's there the suction is weak. I can't vacuum my pool..HELP. I've checked the following:
Filled water in pump
Checked for leaks
Backwash
Clean gaket
Emptied air out of the filter
Here are 2 videos of my system:
This one shows the problem:
