Can air get into pool filter causing it to lose prime if water level in pool is too high?

Yes, air can get into the pool pump causing it to lose prime if you have a leak or crack in the plumbing leading from the pool to the pump. The pool level being too high plays no role, however you should make sure that the pool level is not too high for other reasons, mainly the level is too high, water will leak under your cement causing it to settle. Keep the water level in the middle of the skimmer opening.

Why does pool pump keep popping circuit breaker only when timer tries to turn on?

A pool pump that keeps tripping the circuit breaker when the timer attempts to turn it on may have an electrical issue, such as a short circuit or a ground fault in the pump's wiring or motor. It could also indicate that the pump is drawing too much current due to a mechanical issue, like a seized motor or a clogged impeller. Additionally, the timer itself could be malfunctioning, causing a surge when it tries to activate the pump. It's advisable to have a qualified electrician or pool technician inspect the system to diagnose and resolve the issue safely.

How is an above ground pool pump different from an in ground pool pump?

In simplest terms, an above ground pool pump is a flooded suction pump, which means the water level must be higher than the pump for it to operate, and an inground pump has the ability to draw water up from a level lower than the pump. The engineering and structure of these two different types of pumps is what makes them work the way they do. This means that, in a typical installation, you could use an inground-specific pump on an above ground pool, but not an above ground pump on an inground pool with the water level below the pump.
