    CircuPool SmartFlo® Variable Speed Pool Pump - 3.0 THP

    I actually contacted Circupool support and sent them the video. The rep had a service tech and manager review and said it shouldn't be doing this, especially for a brand new pump. They're sending me a replacement. I checked the thumb screw and made sure o ring was on and seated. No issues...

    My timer shut it off 😂😂 I turned it on and it came on again with no issues. Tested my luck to make sure timer would work turning it on and it did fine. Really odd but it even primes on the lowest setting now. Now, off to Leslie's to get chemicals! 😆🤪 Thanks for the assistance on this as I...

    CircuPool SmartFlo® Variable Speed Pool Pump - 3.0 THP

    Pool lube added on the 3 way lid and stem valves, fittings, and pump lid o-rings. I used clear primer to avoid purple drips (same primer but no color). I added some hot glue last night to all connections and it still didn't work. I read about a plastic bag test so I'll try that when I get...

    Yep, I closed 3 way valve to drain and put hose into basket to go out the skimmer. I also used the tornado blower to blow out to clear the line.

    CircuPool SmartFlo® Variable Speed Pool Pump - 3.0 THP

    The water does get pulled in. I opened the pool today. I didn't use the old pump - it died at the end of last year. I waited until a couple weeks ago to buy the new one. I opened pool roughly 5 hrs ago. I marked a line by skimmer at around 2 because I thought I had a leak but neither drain or...

    CircuPool SmartFlo® Variable Speed Pool Pump - 3.0 THP

    Lubed up the suction side o-rings and retaped suction side fitting (4x around). I'll try shaving cream next if this doesn't work. Pool to pad is 15 ft. Waterline to pump is approximately 1 ft. Last year, I had a single stage pentair and had no issues with it. Should I increase the suction on...

    CircuPool SmartFlo® Variable Speed Pool Pump - 3.0 THP

    Need some help here or ideas on what the issue may be. I installed the pump in the title and it won't prime. I filled strainer with water, have pumped water down the supply lines (comes out the skimmer side), blew out the lines with the cyclone to see if anything was stuck, pumped water through...
