Why is my Pentair SuperFlo Water Pump losing pressure?
Your Pentair Water Pump might be experiencing reduced capacity due to several reasons: * Air pockets or leaks in the suction line. Check the suction piping and valve glands on any suction gate valves. * A clogged impeller. Remove any debris from the impeller. * A clogged pump strainer. Clean the suction trap.
