With a Doughboy Silica II filter why when vacuuming after a few minutes would the pool pump appear to be running but no water is coming from the jet and it no longer has suction on the vacuum hose?

The filter is simply clogging with the junk you are picking up. Somewhere there should be an instruction to set the Silica II to "To Waste" when vacuuming. Your alternative is to keep flushing the filter every few minutes, which will use just as much water and take much more time. This process will lower the water level of the pool, however, so you should have it really full to begin with and be ready to replace the water discharged.

When is suction used in everyday life?
for vacuuming :)
What is the normal gauge pressure on the suction line of a running refrigerator?
It depends if it has suction cups on its shoes or not
How do you switch the pump over when you want to vacuum the pool?
Normal procedure for vacuuming. With pump running,connect vac hose to vac head and lower into to pool (on vac pole), filling hose with water (push hose into water, hand over hand, to fill). When you get to the end of the hose you should see it full of water. Connect end of hose to skimmer - remove basket and push ed of hose into suction hole in skimmer. Suction should now be via the vac head - you're vacuuming. Contact me by e-mail if you need more info.
Why does the pump basket lose water when you try to vacuum?
I had this problem as well and it was a cracked gasket in between the pump and the pool. When I wasn't vacuuming the basket was gravity fed by the skimmer but when vacuuming it was suction fed and air enterd the hose. Check your fittings and connections. Hope this helps. Derek
What would cause a radiator to have suction in it while running?
Cracked head or leaking gasket. The suction is created on the downward stroke of piston during intake stroke.
If suction valve of the centrifugal pump being closed in running what will be a effect?
It will damage the pump.
What are the advantages of having a central vacuum cleaner?
Technology has improved the upright vacuum cleaner. They have stronger suction, lighter weight and easier to maneuver. Central vacuum cleaners have little to offer compared to a standard vacuum. They can hold more dirt and the noise level is lower because the suction motor and dirt bin is in the garage or basement. The biggest drawback is dealing with the long hose and finding a place to put it. Especially, if you need it for a short time.
Why do you have poor suction when vacuuming?
Most likely due to one of two reasons: - a blocked tube or the recepticle being full The reason why is because when you vacuum up stuff, there is dust everywhere. the dust gets into the pipes and the suction has to work harder to get to picking up certain items. The bigger and heavier the object is, the harder it is to pick it up.
Why is there noticeable suction into the crankcase when the dipstick is pulled with the engine running after replacing the intake manifold gasket?
It's supposed to do that.
What is cavitation and priming?
1. PRIMING LOSS: This is the suction loss for a pump whose NPSH is (-ve)2. CAVITATION: It is also suction loss by forming cavity of a volatile liquid whose NPSH(a) is belowNPSH(r) eg..Choking or blockage of suction strainers, closing of suction valve of apump when running.3. VAPOUR LOCK: This is also loss of pumping due to blockage in discharge of a pump..closing of discharge valve and running for more time..running the pump with in adequate minimum flow..liquid above boiling pointHence Cavitation, Vapour Lock and Primimng loss are different
How much suction power does a Dyson handheld have?
There are various Dyson handhold vacuum currently in production and the suction power can range from 36 air watts and higher. Some of the more advanced models allow for up to 10 minutes of non-stop suction at full power.
