Close all valves on the suction side of the pump. Using the above pool pump troubleshooting tips above you should be able to remove all the air from your swimming pool pump.

After opening the skimmer valves, open the main drain valve and leave it like that for the next step.Now you are ready to check the condition of the pool strainer.
