Hello All, First post regarding pool maintenance. I have an inground pool with a pump and sand filter 9 x 10 ft kidney bean size. I have decided to try opening my pool myself after about 2 years. I turned the pump on different methods for short periods of time to see if the pump still worked. I ended up putting it on recirculate and threw about 40 L of liquid chlorine in there monday 17th . however i noticed ONLY 1 jet was working! I plugged that working jet and noticed water started flowing out the other jet! which leads me to think there is no obstruction or blockage. I was getting about 5 PSI . I then did a backwash and rinse, now my pump is at 10 PSI. However the issue remains only 1 jet works.
After about 5 Days of just intermittently running the pump on recirculate, the pool is still green ish so i cant see very much i vaccum to waste and something actually got caught in the vaccum head and the over suction broke the pool stick in half! i later found pine many needles in the pool filter, i have about 5-6 PSI AFTER doing backwash/rinse. not sure the issue with the jet! I am thinking there are many pine and algae around the main drain? clogging it?
please help!
