Is your pool pump running dry? If you don’t have water flowing through your pump, it’s time to prime. Priming a pool pump means getting water flowing through your pump before you let it run. If you turn on your pump and it's not full of water, the whole thing can overheat. It can even melt your pump seals and damage your pool plumbing. But all that can be avoided by priming. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to prime your pump.
