Lost presure in skimmer
I'm having an issue with my skimmer line pressure. It has been working fine until about 2 weeks ago when the has almost completely stopped. Now if I use just that line, it doesn't fill the basket up with water and I don't really know how to describe it, very low water, then a quick burst, then nothing. I've tried ballooning both ends and water comes through fine, I don't know what to do

I wouldn't replace the line yet
Check the "O" ring of the pump strainer basket and lubricate it
