I Don't know what else to try !
2 years ago the stronger of my 2 skimmers just suddenly stopped working. I had a company come out and use fancy devices with cameras etc and they found that the underground pipe was crushed by a tree root. So i"ve been left with the weaker skimmer (further from the pump) which also shares a line with bottom drain i believe. That one skimmer has been enough to run my pool but this season when i opened the pool i noticed that the suction slows down considerably after aprox an hour. The intake also is very weak blowing back into the pool and the slide water is dribbling out. I checked the gage and it's running high when this happens. I took apart the filter this morning to clean the grids, did lots of back washing and charged up the filter with plenty of fresh DE and it happened again. I purchased a stronger motor last season as well so i don't think that's the cause. Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thank you
