1 AnswerOther - Environment1 decade agoHow to get water off above-ground pool cover?
I have a pool pump that I have the hardest time getting started each year. How can I be sure there is no "air lock"? I filled the pump with water until there were no bubbles; I filled the hose in the pool until there were no bubbles (but didn't fill the hose); and I connected the 2 underwater. THEN I plug in the pump. NOTHING.
It always seems to get started by accident. Can someone give me a foolproof way to drain the water from my above-ground pool cover?
