Q: What is the difference in on- ground pumps and in- ground pumps

A:
Pumps for above ground pools generally are not self priming. That means they must be placed below the water level of the pool to operate correctly.

Q: I have a tristar 950 vsp. Is it supposed to "prime" between speed timer sessions? For instance i have a session that runs at 1750 rpm from 8 am to 11 am then the next session from 11 am to 11:45 pm at 1150 rpm. When the first session ends at 11 am it always stops the pump momentarily and then goes into prime mode before starting session 2. Why doesn't it seamlessly just go from 1750 rpm to 1150 rpm?

A:
Hi, someone from our Technical Service Department will contact you via email.
