    Eyeballs stuck in return line

    I ran it with the first return open and the others with the eyeball in. Worked ok last year. The first return seems to be a larger opening than the others. I had never noticed that until last season. I’ll have to measure it to be sure. Perhaps there is a part that screws in first that was never...

    Eyeballs stuck in return line

    Thanks for replying. The problem is the bottom drains are not working. When I open the valve the system stops working. So my immediate fix was the kreepy krauly that sucks off the bottom while cleaning. Problem then is the skimmer doesn’t get to do its job😳might be a leak in the line?

    Also, while we are at it…when I dropped the water level so try to get the eyeballs out, where the water is below the skimmer, the next day there was more water in the pool!😳 it did not rain and no water was added! And for future questions, here is another…this pool has two bottom drains near...

    Eyeballs stuck in return line

    I used a hose with a sink rubber expansion bladder at the pump. Got one out then it burst. Wondering where the other one is. It seems to be blocking the water after the first return outlet. Goes past the skimmer and is the next hole. Just a little flow at the four other holes. the picture...

    Eyeballs stuck in return line

    It is actually just the diverter that went into the return line. I just now got one out by forcing water from the return line at the pump and had four of the five returns plugged. Had to drain the water down some. I hooked it with a pail handle and got needle nose players to hold it and was...

    Eyeballs stuck in return line

    Sad to say that then first return seems to have gotten larger with age. And, somehow two eyeballs have gotten lodged in the return line. There are 5 eyeballs. With two on the steps and one after. I have seen one at the end but have not been able to grab it. Now it seems that between the first...
