To prime your inground swimming pool pump follow these steps below:
Follow steps 1 to 8 for pools that include main drains and cartridge filter.
*If no Main drains, skip step 2 and 7
*If sand filter, skip step 8
1- Turn off power to pump (switch and breaker)
2- Using black 3 way valve, turn off Skimmer (main drain on only)
3- Remove pump lid
4- Fill pump with water all the way to top.
5- Put pump lid back on
6- Turn on Pump
7- Once pump is fully primed, turn on skimmer using 3 way valve (pump may fill with air at this point, simply wait about 10-60 seconds for it to fill back up).
8- Release air in system (open bleeder valve on top of cartridge filter, once water shoots out of bleeder valve, there is no more air in system).
If your liner is pulled away from the pool coping you can simply watch this quick video on how to tuck your inground or onground swimming pool liner back into the pool coping. Sometimes if it is cold out or your liner has less stretch just pour a kettle of boiling water over top of it (be careful not to get water behind the pool wall) do the same steps, then splash cold water from the pool onto it.
