Why is my Pentair Water Pump not working?
- CChristopher BraunJul 31, 2025
Your Pentair Water Pump may fail due to several reasons. There might be an air leak in the suction, so check the suction piping and valve glands on any suction gate valves. Ensure there's enough water and the skimmer isn't drawing air. Make sure the suction lines, pump, strainer, and pump volute are full of water. Clean the pump strainer pot if the strainer gasket is clogged, or replace the gasket if it's defective.
