    One skimmer working, the other isn't

    Ok. I had a feeling that's the answer I was going to get. So, I still have a suction side leak somewhere. I'll keep trying to locate it. Thanks for your responses, they have been very helpful.

    One skimmer working, the other isn't

    One skimmer working, the other isn't

    Yesterday, both skimmers were working normally. Today, only one is working. If I plug the working one, then the other suctions - but not both of them at the same time. Any suggestions? Thank you!
