I just don't know what to say other than...Wow!

A 3-way with stops will not prevent that. If it can easily be adjusted to not allow it to be closed, it can easily be adjust to allow it to be closed.

You could always plug the skimmer and have the main drain open if draining the pool is needed. For safety sake, I wouldn't want to have a valve on the skimmer that someone could inadvertently leave closed and all the suction is on the main drain. There has been fatalities from becoming trapped...

I wouldn't think you need a 3-way valve, probably just a shutoff for the main drain so you can get more suction on the skimmer and get the flow right for the baracuda.

For safety reasons, I wouldn't put a shutoff valve on the skimmer unless you have 2 main drains.

Sorry for the confusion. I changed my pool liner and replaced the main dran covers with a different type. I'm not suggesting to change your pool liner. I'm not sure what type cover it is but it's more rounded at the bottom whereas the other one was squared off.

I think the problem you may have with too much suction is the baracuda might stay on the walls all the time. Mine would get stuck on the main drain also until I changed the liner and put in different covers. It hasn't gotten stuck in 2 years now. You can try moving the weight on the hose to see...

Is the pressure on your filter higher than normal? Have you backwashed the filter?

I don't think there is any need to blow out your lines or use antifreeze on inground pools in The Great State of South Carolina especially in the midlands where you are. I put a cover over the pool, set the multiport valve to "winter", drain the filter and disconnect the pump and put it in the...

If you do hook it up to the skimmer I would recommend getting a Pool Skim. Between the Pool Skim and my Baracuda G3 my pool stays very clean without me having to do anything other than empty out the Pool Skim bag.

Can you get in the water and start a couple feet down pushing up toward where its come out and when you get to the top push it back in?

The universal valve cuff that comes with it should work for 2" pipe. Its the white rubber piece with 4 ribs that the gray flowkeeper valve fits in.

Ian, May want to make sure that leak isn't coming from your pump. If it is, it may be the ceramic seal leaking which may explain why the bearings in your motor went out.

Way to go Bean! I know your Husband will be very proud!

looks like the impeller is broken
