Thanks for the advice, Tex. Luckily, I left the pump keep running in the line while I ate lunch. When I got back, the line was free.

We had a storm with strong winds that blew about a thousand leaves into my pool (in-ground, 12x20 lap pool). The line from the skimmer in the deep end somehow got clogged. I tried running a garden hose into the line at the pump but that didn't work. I tried blowing out the line with my leaf...

I must have made my situation seem worse than it is. The pool is on high ground. I'm not taking in any water except the Rainwater. I just wondered if I was doing enough to prevent algae.

endless rain I open my pool about the same time that a two-week period of rain began. My land is turned into a water world. My pool collects worms, crawdads, and garden snakes. I worry that algae will begin, so I keep my chlorine levels above-normal. My pool is 12 feet by 60 feet. I chlorinate...
