Adjusting Skimmer Suction

Oct 3, 2011

Hi Guys - I have two hayward inground skimmers and (no surprise) the one furthest from the pump does not get as much suction. Is there any way to regulate this, so that the suction is even in both?

Thanks!
 
Are they plumbed to the same suction line at the pad? ... assuming they are otherwise you would have adjusted the valves at the pad.

Do you have skimmer float valves in them under your basket? One option would be to add one to the high flow skimmer and use it to restrict the suction possibly adding more suction to the far one ... although it will likely restrict the near one more than helping the far one.
