Q: My filtration system lost suction. This has happened before. Why does this happen and how can I prevent it from continuing to happen?

A: Loss of suction in your filtration system most likely occurs because of air entering your filtration system. Air typically gets in through the pump lid, through the ring under the pump lid, or through various leaky pipes. Another issue that may be causing this is low pool water levels, split cleaner hoses or pump blockages. If you can’t find where the issue is, contact Ask the Pool guy for a consultation.Skimmer Water Level Ask the Pool Guy
