Hayward Self-Priming Pump with AO Smith 1 HP 56J frame motor. Stopped moving inground pool water. Added water to pump basket (low). Turned on pump, return jets sent "bubbles" into pool, stopped, then noticed water leaking from where PVC pipe connects to top of pump. Where do I begin to get pump functioning again? Pool is green & can't afford a pro since losing my job!

The pump must not have any air leaks in the suction side of it,, or it will just **** air and not water,,, water is very heavy you see, however i think its the impeller in the pump thats the problem,,,you should try to put water in the out let of the pump so you fill the pump with water first if its dryed out it may just wear out the impeller before it starts to **** water up, if this still dont work turn off the stop **** and strip out the pump to look at the impeller any wear on it and it will need a new one fitted
i hope this has help you, good luck
