  Your Blue Wave Swimming Pool Pump might not be priming due to several reasons. First, check for suction air leaks by ensuring the see-through lid and O-ring are clean, lubricated, and tightened, and that all hoses and pipes on the suction side are tightened. Also, make sure the water level in the pool is high enough to flow through the skimmer and that the skimmer port isn't blocked. Another reason could be that there's no water in the pump; make sure the strainer tank is full. Also, ensure that all valves in the system are open, and clean the skimmer and strainer basket. Finally, check for any blockage in the impeller. Low voltage to the motor can also prevent the pump from reaching the necessary speed; check the voltage at the motor.

  If your Blue Wave Swimming Pool Pump motor isn't running, start by checking that all power switches are on and that the fuse or circuit breaker is properly set. Also, inspect the motor wiring at the terminals. If power is available, turn off the power and try to turn the motor shaft; it should spin freely. If it doesn't, you may need to disassemble and repair the pump, as it could be jammed.

  If your Blue Wave Swimming Pool Pump motor is running hot, it could be due to poor ventilation. Ensure the motor isn't enclosed and has proper air space around it. Direct sunlight can also cause overheating, so shield the motor from the sun's rays.

  Low flow in your Blue Wave Swimming Pool Pump can be caused by a dirty filter. Backwash the filter, especially if the pressure is high, and clean the skimmer and pump baskets. Also, check for suction air leaks. Ensure the see-through lid and O-ring are clean, lubricated, and tightened, and that all hoses and pipes on the suction side are tightened. Check for closed valves. Ensure that all valves in the system are open.
