Hey there!! I have an intex 15x48 stock c1000 pump and the delux skinmer.
Pool is full of water, got the pump on. The return (blowing water) is great. I bought the skimmer put it on and there is no suction now.
Do i plug an intake? Yes i installed the skimmer correctly. It’s about an inch half under water the blue thing is bobbing. It’s on the furthest intake and stretched out a little. No suction at all not even a light amount. The filter is slightly dirty from the few hours i used it before installing the skimmer.
Also another question pool is full need to put chemicals in. I bought test trips and by reading these forums i have been told i need a taylor kit. Until i get that my strip said very low bromine very low chlorine and very hight alkalinity and ph. ( obvis nothings in it yet) i got a floater and 3 inch tabs. I got some ph down and some liquid chlorine.
What else do i need? Any specific brand.
Do i need to shock since the alkalinity is so high?
Thank you in advance.
