Hi! First year with a pool, probably some missing info:
100,000l inground, sand filter, salt water, solar heating
pump runs 12hrs a day on timer, solar blanket on unless swimming
i backwash/rinse every week
yesterday went outside and noticed the pump was running dry - almost no water in pump skimmer basket, and the water that was there was HOT! I see from other forums I have to replace some seals, o-rings and check for melting, I can do that...
but! Why would this happen in the first place?
i can leave the hose turned on in the pump skimmer basket for 30 mins, and it never overflows and if I turn pump back on it immediately drains the pump skimmer basket and runs empty.
stumped. All help, links are GREATLY appreciated
