hehe yes I have the skimmie sock hanldes for them. The problem is I broke it trying to turn it to remove the basket

Ill have to drop by Leslie's and just get one with the metal bars. Such a hassle getting these out without it

ahh I assume the handle allows you to rotate it out then hu? doh

So these are the baskets the previous owner left me. Most of the time I can rotate them by hand and pull them out. Sometimes though they just get stuck in there pretty good and its a pain to get them out. Am I missing something do I just have the wrong baskets? The hold down clips don't seem to...

I am not 100% sure on the groundwater as I just moved here last week. Looking it up on USGS thought it says average depth to water level is 248 feet USGS Groundwater for USA: Water Levels -- 1 sites

Is it normal to have 3 hydrostatic plugs + 2 relief valves? I can't tell if I have valves in the main drain here or if they are just plugged....

Little off topic question here... I finished getting the pool drained and the plugs pulled yesterday. I had 1 plug on the shallow end, two plugs on the deep end and 2 main drains that are connected. Inside the main drains there is what appears to be yet another plug? Can anyone tell me what that...
