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.
