    skimmer basket not filling with water

    Thank you everyone. Just to make sure it is not the water level, I am going to fill the pool up this afternoon and check the skimmer again and valves tomorrow when I don't have a three year old hanging on to my leg. :) I will let you know what happens tomorrow.

    skimmer basket not filling with water

    It won't let me upload anymore pictures but yes, the skimmers are on shallow end my the waterfall and deep end. I can manually push flap up and it will stay. The one that is not working is in the shallow end by the waterfall. It does have foam on the back.

    Pump on for 30 seconds, off for 30 seconds

    Thank you. Not sure why that didn't cross my mind to begin with. I am filling up the pool and will see if that corrects itself. I figured it has rained so much the last couple months, I didn't need to fill it. I will let you know an update. I hope that is it! Thanks again.

    Pump on for 30 seconds, off for 30 seconds

    I have a Pentair Challenger Pump and salt water pool with fountain water feature (no spa). The water feature will slow down for 30 seconds and then be normal for 30 seconds, on and on while the pump is on. While looking at the pump, the water is whirling around great for the 30 seconds the pump...
