Why is my Pentair STA-RITE DYNA-PRO Swimming Pool Pump not pumping water?

If your Pentair Swimming Pool Pump fails to pump water or experiences reduced capacity/discharge pressure, several factors could be at play. Start by checking for suction leaks in the piping, ensuring the suction pipe inlet is submerged adequately to prevent air intake, and inspecting the strainer pot lid o-ring for damage. Also, verify that the strainer pot/basket and impeller are free from clogs. If blockages are found, clean the basket/pot and disassemble the pump to clear the impeller. Finally, make sure that the pump is receiving the correct voltage and has proper ventilation.
