    Most priming problems involve leaks in the suction side of the pump (between the pump and the pool) or clogged baskets. If you have a leak on the pressurer side (after the pump), it does not affect prime. You just lose water.


    I'd go back to where you bought it and tell them what the problem is

    try looking closely at the hoses. if you have a lose connection, this will cause may of your problems. also look at the screws and make sure that they are TIGHT. if none of these are successful, the at least get in touch with the vendor who sold you a faulty pool.
