My suggestion would be to start with the simple stuff. Filter, "o" rings and seals, debris in the pump basket etc., check the valves.

How can I increase pool pump pressure effectively?
To increase pool pump pressure effectively, you can try cleaning or replacing the pool filter, checking for any clogs in the pump or pipes, adjusting the pump speed or impeller size, and ensuring proper water level in the pool. Regular maintenance and proper adjustments can help improve pump pressure.
Why oil pump losing pressure?
either your oil pump screen is clogged or you need a new pump
Is pool pump pressure effected by chemical imbalance?
Yes, pool pump pressure can be affected by chemical imbalance in the pool water. For example, high levels of total dissolved solids or oils can cause the filter to clog more quickly, leading to higher pressure. It's important to maintain proper water chemistry to prevent these issues and ensure the pump operates efficiently.
Would a booster pool pump help get more pressure to an existing pool pump?
Not necessarily, it depends on the condition of the original pump. It may have a worn or warped impeller. I would look into making sure the original pump is in good shape.
What is a pump seal for in-ground pool?
Main reason for pump seal (mechanical seals) in a pool pump any pump for that matter is to contain liquid (water in this case) in the pump and hold prime and pressure. Other reasons, lower friction,reliability it can last for years.
Could the hot water tank be causing the water pump to be losing pressure?
No. Nothing to do with it. Much more likely there is an air leak between pump and pressure tank, or pressure tank needs a new aircharge.
Will a booster pump help heat the pool with gas heater on?
No. generally a booster pump is used to run a pressure side cleaner.
When vacuuming a pool manually what would cause loss of pump pressure?
When vacuuming a pool manually a loss of pressure can be caused by something getting stuck in the hose. A leaf or a large bug can get stuck in the hose and cause it to lose pressure.
You have only about half pressure on your pool pump?
Usually the pressure gauge on your pool equipment indicates how much pressure there is before the filter. as the pressure goes up it indicates that the filter is getting blocked and needs a backwash or cleaning. while the pressure is low the filter does not need cleaning.
How far can I put a pool pump from the pool?
It is about 3 meters , that is a very proper distance and it can help you to pump the water quickly . Another answer: if you use large enough diameter plumbing 2" PVC you can get away with a larger distance. My equipment is in a pump house about 20 feet from the pool. Hatawa
Why would a Hayward pool pump develop a vacuum and then within ten seconds the vacuum just stops and the water flow drops?
The pool pump is most likely losing the vacuum due to clogged up filters. The filters need to be checked and cleaned.
How do you clean a pool if it has been neglected so long that the water is green and it has tadpoles living in it?
Pump out the pool. Pressure wash the pool interior, remove debris. Finish with an acid wash. Check all plumbing for damage etc. Change out the sand in the sand filter (if fitted) Clean all skimmers and leaf filters at the pump and the pool. Fill pool and adjust it chemically after 24hours with pump running.
