The bottom part of the slide valve for my pool filter broke off some time ago (month or so). Normally, I could just fish the broken piece out of the tubing that it broke in, however, my tubing extends underground into my hot tub.
I've fished a flashlight down into the tubing up to the point where it angles toward the hot tub, with no piece in sight
So, my question is, how bad would it be to just leave that piece in the pipes? Is is *essential* that I tear up my backyard to find that piece?
Here's the kind of slide valve I have:
