    Have you lubed the O-ring on the pump filter basket?

    Are you getting air from the filter?

    Rangeball's suggestion #5 is highly possible.

    Let us know.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the responses. We checked the filter basket and the connections and there weren't any air leaks there. How would I go about determining if there is a block in the line? We are VERY green pool owners, thanks again.

    I'd run a garden hose on full blast from the pump basket back through supply line and see what kind of flow you get.
