I have this skimmer, now as a backup. Had the same restart issues, but if I blew into the air line, it always started. But what if you were not home, and power glitched, then probably pump would burn out.
Good question, so I am tagging along to see what others say.
Jason (SWC) replaced my pump once already as it did quite working causing my GFC to trip, but new pump has same issues. He stated to trim the impeller, but why should we?
I heard replacing the impeller with a different one works, but can anyone tell us which one?
This is a great skimmer overall.
