I currently have an in-ground (60,000 litre) concrete pool recently renovated (last 12 months). I have been doing backwashes and rinses all this time and went to vacuum the pool to "waste" and have only just identified that I do not have any suction when doing any of those (backwash, rinse or waste).
When I run the Filter there is suction through the skimmer box and all seems to be functioning well. I have checked the spider valve in the head of the Filter and all seems to be in order i.e. no twists, wear/tear. In addition, the spring related to the lever that changes the filter position appears to be in good working order.
Any thoughts on how water is still being drawn from the pool and expelled without suction? Also how I can achieve suction when vacuuming the pool?
Kind regards
