What It Means
Priming Timeout
Likely Causes
- Pump failed to prime within 10-minute priming window
- Air leaks at lid O-ring, unions, or suction fittings
- Pool water level not covering skimmer intake
- Suction valve closed or partially closed
Next Checks
- Check pool water level — must fully cover skimmer opening
- Inspect pump lid O-ring and lubricate with Teflon-compatible silicone grease
- Check all suction-side unions for air leaks (look for bubbles in pump basket)
- Open all suction valves fully
- Fill pump basket manually with water before restarting to assist priming
