Why won't my K2 Pumps PPI10001SPK Swimming Pool Pump prime?
- AAngela ChavezAug 6, 2025
If your K2 Pumps Swimming Pool Pump doesn't prime, it could be due to suction piping leaks or lack of initial priming. Ensure the pump volute and trap are full of water. Check for leaks in the suction piping and confirm the suction pipe inlet is well below the water level to prevent air suction. A defective suction trap gasket can also be the culprit, so replace it if necessary. Also, the pump should not lift water more than 10 ft (3 m), and the suction pipe should be at least 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) in diameter.
