    Low suction at the skimmers

    I have 2 skimmers, I'm definitely going to look deeper into the SWG, and mark the pipes. As far as the automation goes, I'll go through the menu on the control panel inside the house to see exactly what's be scheduled . From what I've seen it's just filter and clean running now. Thanks for...

    Low suction at the skimmers

    I've moved the valve as you suggested, hopefully the skimmer baskets will be full in the morning! As far as the SWG goes, I was told that by "the pool guy' who opened this pool last year for the previous owners. I was certainly disappointed the SWG had been "abandoned" as what I had read...

    Low suction at the skimmers

    Alright, you guys know your equipment! I'm new to this whole pool thing so please bare with me. ATT TECH 2, I did move the valve with the handle facing the pump. This position caused the spa waterfall to stop, and the spa water level to drop. I have not seen any valves change automatically...

    Low suction at the skimmers

    I'll post a pic in the morning. I'm not too familiar with the equipment, just what the pool guy showed me a week ago. He wasn't too thorough.

    Very good flow. I haven't changed their direction, it seems that there is a good clockwise flow to the jets. The debris moves well around the pool, it just bypasses going into the skimmers, and collects in front of it.

    Wind doesn't seem to be a factor. It doesn't make any difference whether the cleaner is on or off either...

    Low suction at the skimmers

    Hey guys, new pool owner so please bear with me. I noticed when I checked the skimmer baskets, they were near empty. I stood and watched small items float right on by! When I run the auto pool cleaner, there's plenty of pressure there. I've removed the 4 cartridge filters and thoroughly cleaned...
