I've been able to get by with just the main drain for a bit since moving in, hiring someone to shoot Co2 into my skimmer line. And then the oak tree catkins attacked my pool after a huge rain/wind storm. Skimmed the water for a few hours, and the image below is the result. I immediately went and re-filled my liquid chlorine jugs with the intention of doing SLAM process after a pH/CYA check, since it's worked well in the past. I turned on the pump, pump isn't priming.
"Great, there's probably leaves covering the main drain." I go to get my leaf vac (the ones that require a hose and mesh net) only to discover the net is gone. The net blew into the pool, and is likely what's covering the main drain.
Normally I'd just fish it out carefully. But I can't see more than 6 inches into the water. So my SLAM is on a temporary hold.. Does anyone know of a way to clear it up a bit without having the water circulate? I've been brushing like crazy, but am I pretty much outta luck until someone comes to clear my skimmer line?
