So, I went swimming last night and put my hand over the main drain. I also motioned some sand into and around the main drain, nothing happened and no suction. Any other suggestions?

In picture 3. That line is capped facing the screw, BUT it does go into the ground. It's like someone put that just encase they ever wanted to run more piping? It does go through the ground at the bottom.

Yes, we are talking about the same thing. Sorry, first time I've dealt with this. Yes, the main drain is at the bottom of the deep end. Isn't that drain important to remove debris from the bottom of the pool?

Thank you for your great input! I don't believe any of the inputs to the pump are capped. I believe they are all open. Can you tell me more about the "main drain?" I thought all water would go through the sand filter once leaving the pool. I don't know how putting water in that hole...

So, I did as instructed and didn't notice any diff in the pump. I tried to push some dirt into the return at the bottom and didn't see any action. Will have to get in to see what's up. Dropbox - 3.jpg

I have one skimmer. I have a vacuum port on side of pool. I have two open holes in bottom of skimmer. Both open.

I'll wait till after March to open mine. No reason to open if I can't start to heat her up and get in!

I have an 23k gallon salt water in ground gunite pool. I also, live in Charlotte, NC where we may get a few days of freezing temperatures during the winter. It snows once or twice a year. To winterize, I drain all of the water out of my pool pump, filter and heat pump. I backwash most of the...

The back of the pool has a pool light. Behind the light it goes downhill to the street about 15 feet or so. Behind the light about 5 feet is where the light gets it's power. So, I assume the water is following the power to the light and down the hill to the street.

Okay great, well since this happened two years ago. I think I should hire an electrician to come put everything back together. Someone who's familiar with these sort of wiring. I'll order all the pieces and have him assemble. My pool is still draining onto the street. LOL I have had tons...
