Common Problem

Pool Not Circulating Water? Common Causes and Next Steps

Poor circulation is a common Sarasota complaint — often a suction-side air leak, a screen-cage debris clog after a storm, or a valve position problem.

Most likely causes

  • Clogged skimmer or pump basket
  • Air leak on suction side
  • Closed or partially closed valve
  • Clogged filter

What to do now

Empty the baskets, verify valve positions and clean the filter. If circulation doesn't recover, consider scheduling diagnostics.
