Seems like I don't get the kind of suction I should be getting from my main floor drain vs my 2 skimmers. Does anyone see an issue with using one of those Drain King rubber bladders on the line and push pressurized water into the pool thereby 'clearing' any residual matter that might be in the line?
As a note, I do not vacuum my pool but rather brush the bottom into the main drain. When I do this every 2 days and run the pump at least 10 hours, my water stays pretty clear. It just seems to take an inordinate amount of effort to get the drain to suck up the dirt once I get it into a 'pile' at the drain. I have to keep pushing the dirt in with the brush. Seems like it should be sucking it right up like a vacuum cleaner, hence my hypothesis that it might be clogged a bit.
