Yes, they are both Venturi skimmers. I think I may figured this out. From what I've read, Venturi skimmers can be plumbed with or without a suction line. Mine wasn't getting any suction action because I had the quikskim valve shut off most of the way and the nozzle that goes inside wasn't...

Yes, there is one in the shallow end and one in the deep end. It blows from the right side of the pool, but that's not really my question. I'm trying to figure out if the skimmer in the deep end is missing a pipe connection.

Well I thought I had two skimmers. Now I'm thinking I might have one working skimmer along with a decorative one.

Hi there, We had a new build done last year, but the work was delayed so we only ran the pool a couple months before we had to close. This year we opened the pool a couple weeks ago, and I quickly noticed that the deep end skimmer was not doing anything. I originally suspected a clog from...

Thank you. I think this, along with turning off the heat pump bypass valve, solved the issue.

Jim R., Thanks. What I want to do is run my heat pump at the same time that the SWG is running. Right now, when I open the valve after the heater and before the SWG, my heat pump shuts off and I get an error message that there isn't enough water flow. I can only get that heat pump error...

Here are a few more pictures from a couple steps back.

I'm having trouble figuring out the correct valve position for our pool. We just had it opened up for the season. When I put the valve that leads from the heater to the SWG in one position, I get a no/low flow alert for the SWG and when I put it in the other position the heat pump won't start...

My wife sews so I've got lots of polyfill. I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

So update on my progress and a question. I went from a greenish brown color on Friday to a translucent green today. I can now make out the deep end and can see the shallow end very clearly. I've been running the Polaris 12 hours a day and doing lots of brushing. There is still a decent...

Excellent point. I have a Polaris Quattro. When I dropped it in yesterday morning, it seemed to be getting stuck but I couldn't see what was causing it because I can't see the bottom. I just went out and put it back in and it's not getting stuck anymore. I've done a lot of brushing since the...

Thanks for the response. I will keep it running without the clarifier. I'm questioning whether I should have turned up the RPMs on my pump. I have it up at 2800 RPMs, but normally run it at 1500 RPM. Perhaps I should actually run it at roughly normal speed so the cartridge filters work a bit...

I've been lurking here for a while and I've learned a lot, but this is my first post. Our pool got a bunch of run off, dirt and mulch, from the leftovers of Ida on Tuesday evening. In the morning after the storm, I got the water level back down to normal, removed as much of the mulch as I...
