Weak inground pool skimmer
Weak inground pool skimmer
Hey all. I'm having a bit of a problem with my inground pool skimmer. One side is fine, and pulls water into the pump very nicely, the other side though is extremely weak, even nonexistent. When I switch my skimmer selection handle to the problem skimmer basket, I barely get any flow. Too weak to use the vacuum in. Also once I close the main drain on the bottom of the pool, air begins to accumulate in the collection basket at the pump. Have I cracked my undergound line and it is now sucking air in? Please help!!! Thanks so much for your time!
Poor skimmer suction
Have you tried blowing out your drain? Also, check your filter to make sure o-rings are in good shape and everything is in order (tight / secure fit). We just had to replace manifold, 4 grids, repair more grids, and still blow out the drain - and symptom that led to finding the problems were low vacuum pressure.
Good luck.
Good luck.
