This is a spa and pool combination system. Pump is above the pool/spa by about 6′. Pump has lost prime. Is there a way to reprime this pump. The original installation had a check valve just before the pump suction inlet but it has probably failed so when the pump shut off all the water drained back into the pool/spa. Suction side of pump uses a three-way Jandy valve so no way to shut off suction from both spa and pool at the same time to attempt priming. It will be several weeks before someone can replace the bad check valve but I would like to use the pool/spa in the mean time. I will just keep the pump running 24/7 once I can figure out a method to get it primed.

Thanks
