Hi all. Pardon any ignorance. My pool guy sadly passed away last year. On top of that, my husband is pretty seriously ill and so this dang pool stuff is on me: a 56 year old mom who is handy enough to be dangerous to myself. Here is the nitty gritty. Have a 40 x 20 x 30 foot L, vinyl lined about 14 years old. Things are starting to go. Last year, replaced pump. This year, replaced sand filter medium with glass, and replaced all laterals and hub. Last year was a nightmare where even the new pool company ghosted me when even they couldn’t figure out why my water was this weird mint green color. I am on a well which compounds things a ton. Opened it this year and it is turning blue after being VERY dirty. Had bubbles coming from suction side and spliced the PVC and repaired that. Yay no more bubbles. All is ok except I am getting way less suction in one skimmer (working on clearing that with a drain bladder and it is slowly maybe circulating more water? (Have to get a winterizing plug to create a little pressure). The deep end jet however is not working at all. Any ways anyone has on clearing that one? Pressure seems good and water levels are holding. Thanks for any help.
1 Return Jet isn’t pumping any water. Rest are fine

Can you post pictures of your equipment pad please, it helps us to understand your setup.
Thanks. I will more tomorrow when more questions arise, but got this one solved. Basic Physics. My 18 year old son just shook his head at me and solved it. He said, ‘Do you have covers on all return jets?” I said that i had maybe one or two without the eyes because I have new on order, so they are just open. Well the one not working had the eyeball jet on it and was furthest from the equipment. Basic physics had the water coming out of the larger holes closer to the pump. As soon as I capped one off, wow, water came out of the one previously not working. So as soon as I get all the eyes on, it should be good. Feel so stupid.
