2019年8月25日 · We tried running the pool with the main drain and skimmer valves in the open position (desirable)..no change. We also tried closing the main drain to force the skimmers to suction. No change. 2) Could there possibly be something jammed in the lines preventing suction from taking place? We purchased a garden hose bladder to blow the line clean.

2017年8月11日 · And i agree well operating skimmer, we don't see much on surface but there is no suction in skimmer when i put my finger, and it doesn't try to suck off it. At 1400 (pentair variable speed), it seems that suction is not there at all, at 2200, sometimes we see suction, and at 3000 there is suction but it is not that good. just a little bit.

2017年4月30日 · Skimmer are somewhat subtle in operation and won't suck things in unless pretty close to the skimmer's entrance. A quick way to check, is to take out the skimmer basket (and any spaceship looking contraption, if installed), and reach down and see if you can feel any suction on one of the two pipes at the bottom.

2013年8月22日 · Im at my end, I just bought a house with a pool and iv spent most of my time getting the pool/spa to operate at 100%. My latest problem is that the suction is too low to operate the new Hayward pool VAC I just spent $400 on :x. Here is what I have and know:-Pool is about 25k gallons-Hayward filter with 24" grids-vacuum hose operates from skimmer

2022年4月23日 · The near skimmer will have much more suction than the far skimmer. It is not huge deal, but you can adjust the valve so that the suction at both skimmers match if you want. It is kind of subjective, but you can "feel" the suction right at the pipe under the skimmer baskets.

2012年5月26日 · Can someone please help me figure out why my skimmer suction is low? I've searched for hours on the forum and can't figure it out. Pool stats are in signature but to reiterate with other pertinent info: Approx. 30K gal. - 18x36- in ground with vinyl liner- Hayward sand filter- one speed 1/2 horsepower pump. One bottom drain- One sidewall skimmer

2017年6月23日 · The suction on both of them is so low that water sits high above the skimmer basket and the skimmer does not pull in the debris from the surface of the water. The debris just floats on by. I installed new weirs a few days ago but this did not noticeably help with the suction, which I desperately need in order to vacuum the dead algae that is ...

2011年5月31日 · When the filter pump is running, there is no suction at all at the vacuum line port. I can easily open the door covering the port and when dangling a leaf in front of it, nothing happens. My pool has a valve which adjusts the skimmer/vacuum suction balance and I assume this pool does as well, but is it possible that it could be 100% to the skimmer?

2019年6月12日 · I have just bought a home with an old pool and I am planning to get a Zodiac MX6 suction cleaner and hook it up to the skimmer. There are no brand or size markings on the top lid of skimmer. The top lid is about 8.5 inches in diameter. Below the white basket are two holes. There is no other float. The text on the side says "main drain" and "both".

2012年11月13日 · Hi, have recently taken over pool service on our pool (pool service co closed down). Pool is large in ground, older, and has no skimmer. Intake suction is at bottom of pool (10ft.deep end). Just backwashed and cleaned grids on DE filter. Green muck caked all over, but came off with water spray...
