My observations on wind vs return flow are based on what the leaves floating on the surface do. My pool catches a lot of them. It's certainly the case that wind above some threshold dominates, but at least where my pool is situated, most of the time the skimmers do ok. The pool is pretty...

Is that because they're separately plumbed? Will there still be a small impact of eye size at the return manifold? My mental picture is that a smaller eye will increase the pressure at the eye itself, which will increase the pressure all the way back at the manifold. But that is probably a small...

I have the following setup: 4 returns, 2 main drains (shallow and deep), and 2 skimmers (shallow and deep). All are separately plumbed back to the equipment pad, which is well below the surface of the pool (down the hill), on the side of the skimmers. Pretty much at the depth of the deep end...

Yes, I can always call the board manufacturer or successor. Was posting here to see if anyone recognized it.

Thanks. I know what the board itself is: 10ft Inter-Fab Duro-Beam. Much newer than the base (2011 manufacture date according to the sticker). It's the base I am wondering about. I've found two images of the same base design. The attached and another in a public pool. Very old. I suspect it...

I am trying to identify the manufacturer and/or any other information about my diving board base. It's the same style as in the attached picture, but I can find no information about this type of base. My base is closer to the deck, but it has the same central steel tube (filled with concrete)...
