What to do if my VIVOHOME Swimming Pool Pump won't prime?
- EEvelyn BellAug 7, 2025
To ensure your VIVOHOME Swimming Pool Pump primes correctly, start by filling the pump/strainer housing with water and ensure the cover O-ring is clean and properly seated. Firmly lock the strainer cover in place, lubricating it with “Jack’s 327”. Also, check that all suction and discharge valves are fully open and not blocked, the pool water level is adequate, and the skimmer weir isn't stuck. If these steps don't resolve the issue, check for blockages in the suction line or a dirty strainer basket, and inspect the suction piping for air leaks.
