I have a Pentair Intelliflo pump system and lately it won't kick on to filter pool. It starts to prime and it won't create enough pressure on gauge to hit the threshold. It will get close and then it starts priming process over again. Any suggestions? I did have tons of leaves in the pool-side filter basket that I cleaned out. could the pipe be clogged? Thanks

Your pipe could be clogged or you may have a clog in the impeller. Check the pump basket and if it is cracked then it is probally in the impeller and you may be able to reach it with a screwdriver and needlenose. If you have a crack in the skimmer basket it could be in the line and you can check this by putting a kitchen sponge in the skimmer and if it comes out in the pump the line is clear. If it is clogged you may be able to clear it with a flush bag you can get at any hardware store. If that dosn't do it you will need to get a pro. Good luck.
