You should call a pool professional to test the voltage on the pump, ensure the shaft is free, and potentially test the capacitor(s) to diagnose the problem unless you are familiar with these inner workings of a motor and are willing to undertake disassembling the pump and resealing it. When you turn on the pump does it just hum? If so there may be electrical problems.If you have a Jandy or Compool valve with a small threaded tab at the top be careful not to over tighten the tab as they are prone to breaking easily. Make sure the valve handles are screwed on tightly.(These first 2 steps account for 90 percent of pumps that won’t prime.) Occasionally skimmer doors or weirs hang up due to waves or they can hang up if the filter were to have air trapped in the top of the tank that decompresses when cycled off causing water to rush backwards through the lines. This will obstruct the flow to the skimmers. Make sure the skimmer doors (also called weirs) are not stuck or hung up.Make sure the water level in the pool is high enough so it can flow into the skimmers.


( Remember, just because you may be able to get the pump running does not mean that the pump, plumbing, or electrical equipment is working correctly.) While this list of possible causes is fairly comprehensive it is not exhaustive and there are a few rare circumstances that exist which a typical homeowner will not be able to diagnose such as a break or leak in an underground line. If your pump will not prime follow this checklist to eliminate the potential causes one by one. Pool Pump Won't Prime? Here's What You Need to do
