Hopefully this all make sense...
Simply put, I'm 100% certain I have a leak (pool drains to a line right underneath the skimmer) and I'm fairly certain it's coming from the line the skimmer shares with the main drain. If I had to guess, there's a crack/damage right underneath the skimmer because the water level in that line drains about an inch below the line to the pump and remains at that level. My question is, can I just plug that shared line in the skimmer and operate as usual or am I going to create a problem by doing that? Currently I'm running the pump only on the main drain and have cut out the skimmer from the mix. Obviously this doesn't solve the real problem but I'm at the tail end of a nightmare pool/house scenario and I just want to get this thing open and rolling for a while before I have to institute a permanent solution.
