Hi Hayley.

Please allow me to try to help you.

Random water pumping or intermittent water pumping, appears to be quite a commonality with the Grundfos pump. The solution to this is quite a bit of process, the details of which you can get here...

On a early eighties model 15hp suzuki 2 stroke how do you know if the water pump is working?

Hi!

The easiest visual test to see if your motor is pumping cooling water is that the water will come out the "check hole" just below the engine bonnet.
However. it's possible that the check hole has become clogged with debris. A piece of thin wire or even a toothpick should be enough to get the debris loosened so water will flow.
You can buy "ear muffs" at any chandlery to hook your motor up to a garden hose for your test.

WARNING!
If steam is coming out of the hole, SHUT THE MOTOR DOWN IMMEDIATELY! You'll overheat the motor and cause a very spendy repair job.

Good Luck

After vacuuming and backwashing, the dirt recycles back into the pool PSI is only 8 - what is wrong?

Assure that the o ring is positioned onto the multi-port throat correctly. That could cause dirt to recycle into the pool water.It could also be issues with the multiport valve in the pool filters.

We have a clearwater sand filter system and when we turned it on the sand started into the pool. What did we do wrong?

you most likey reversed the wires or you hooked up the sand filter pipes backwards try reversing the pipes on the pump first. If that does not work try reversing the wires, however you will have to flush the pump before using again or you will damage the pump

After running my 15hp johnson for some time it will die and not start until it cools. I have already changed the coil pack and CDI

Have you checked the water pump? Some motors have a heat sensor to keep you from destroying the motor as a result of overheating. Since you already bought parts, ask if your motor has a heat sensor. The only thing to cool the motor is the water pump.
