Is there a problem with P-traps? What do I need to do so the pump does not pull water out of the traps?

I do not quite understand why your pump would be pulling water out of the P-trap's? The pump should be in a pit which water empties into so no suction of your pipes/plumbing should be happening? Unless the P-trap's you speak of are mounted on the first floor or above the pump? It may have to do with installation of a check valve! If you do not have one you need one!!! If you have one you need to check for it to be operating correctly. Hope this helps

I don't understand the question very much. But for I can see, maybe you need to vent the drain line?

The hose to the pump could be clogged. If you have pets it could be their hair. Detach the hose, get a tweezer And clear what you can reach. Blow in the hosed, sometimes sediment gets in there too. Also clear the pump opening. clean with white vinegar & water. good luck!

Take the filter out and run the pump without it. if the pressure seems right it is the filter. I always clean mine as soon as I take them out but they do start to get clogged after a while. Make sure you clean good between the folds in the filter!

This does not have a p-trap. Once the flap is opened to flush there is just a hole for the water to flow down to the holding tank. As far as I know no rv toilet have a trap. You may be able to install a regular household toilet but it would probably be a bit of work. Not sure.

I bought a leaf trap and add a pvc pipe that go up and over below the waterline and the attached a vacuum hose to it and is works great. Before I did that and just put the hose into the return. It would clog and was a real pain in ass

You might have a piece of gravel or a small snail stuck inside. I would take it apart and use a cotton swab to see if anything comes out. It's one of the quietest pumps on the market.

Are the hoses attached to the correct locations? Water in and water out. Take the pump apart as per owners manual and check the impeller. Always unplug and remove from water first.

Any air leak upstream of the pump will kill the draw. The input fitting came loose on mine and allowed air to slip past the o-ring, killing the draw for me at one point. Any obstruction will do the same. Also, if the hose/tube you're using for pickup gets locked against the bottom (like putting your hand to a shop-vac hose), then you'll get obvious results, so be sure to use a stand-off and/or filter screen to help prevent this.

The pressure from your pump my be too strong. You don't want the water level to be higher than the filter pad . The water should be trickling out of the tube with the holes in it onto the filter pad. If the water is too high it will come out the airhole on the side of the filter. I hope this helps. Judy

Does your pressure only stall with the surface cleaner or does it also stall out with a regular gun? Either way it sounds to me that you might have an issue with the unloader valve on pump itself.

Thanks to all - the traps are new (I assume) as I just received them from Amazon. It may have been stored in the heat during the shipping process. I will try steaming it apart.

Kristy, Hi. Make sure that your filter is clean and that the hose is not taking in air. With the pump on put the hose to the outlet jet on the side of the pool to push the air and water through the hose making sure both ends remain under water, when all air is released, then have your husband or friend shuts down the pump, attach to wanda and the other end to skimmer without letting in air. You can also purchase a air flow for your filter if that doesn't work but this works great for us. She even goes up our walls and cleans. Hope this helps.

My best guess is that the pump circuit is very dry and it needs to be primed with an EXTERNAL hand pump. They are avaiable for a small sum.

I had the same problem I found out it was because I didn't fill the inner tank, you can add water to it when you put it in you will see bubbles keep pulling it out and putting it back in till the bubble stop then wait till the prime light goes on then turn on the pump and it will start flowing don't worry

If you mean that the water keeps coming out and overflowing the bowl then check that the float is not sticking on tank plug. If you mean the pump keeps going and shooting water into the bowl that's what it is supposed to do.

Hey Tom I use a seperate pp from the main pump if that's what you speaking of. All pools I've had I've always run a seperate pump. I hope that helps. Allen

I had the problem with my pump continuing to run after the pressure should have shut it down. I called shurflo and they sent me a new pump. My old pump was less than one year old. Warranted for one year. Low battery can cause the same problem too.
