Just purchased a pure line prime pump 1hp pl2601. I had a hayward sp1607-z-1-m. The pure line doesn’t seem to be pumping the water out of the jets as well as the hayward did. Did I get a defective pump. I wired it for 110v.
Hello Pittbull - Thank you for your recent purchase. Is the pump fully primed? There should be no air in the pump strainer.
The filter can also impact the pressure. If you have sand or DE filter, place the valve in the recirculate position and run the system. If you have a cartridge filter, take the cartridge out of the filter and run it without the cartridge. If the water pressure increases, you’ll know there is an issue with the filter.
The pump makes a vacuum that sucks water from the pool and after that drives it once more into the pool through a channel. … A break on the weight side will make water shower. On the off chance that you have a blockage in the suction side of the pump, the blockage will confine the measure of water to the pump that will result in low weight.
