I have an old DoughBoy Pool system.
The water flow is weak and sporadic whether it's on filter, backwash, pump to waste etc. :mad:
Can these pumps be repaired? Or is there some technique I can try?
I someone is at their PC today; It's a beautiful day in Grand Rapids.
Thanks in advance for any help!!

Rebuilding pumps is rarely worthwhile. The cost is comparable to what a replacement will be and a new pump will easily outlast a repaired old pump.

If you have an expensive, good quality model of pump that has a wet end and a dry end you may be able to replace the motor end and keep the wet end saving a few dollars.
