From my skimmer it runs about 30 feet and then the PVC makes a 90 degree turn upwards. I KNOW that in that turn I still have some blockage. I bought a roto-rooter thing, and got that cleaned out a bit, a while back. You can't use a motor operated one, that I've found, as the bits are to big to make the turn from the skimmer, 90 degrees, and then run down that line to the next 90 degree turn.
I actually only made some progress going from the pump side and getting a tiny bit at a time, but never fully cleared it I don't think.
Any suggestions on how to clear that remaining blockage? Wish I could use a small, rubber, hose and inject some Drano right there where that blockage is, but sure that wouldn't be good for the pool.
Any suggestions appreciated. I'm pretty much at a loss. Works fine, except when I hook up my MX cleaner thingy. That used to take about 2- 2 1/2 hours to clean the pool. I'm at 4 hours now and looks like another couple hours to go, if it ever gets it cleaned.
TIA!
