I have a 24' above ground pool. We drained it this winter due to some problems we were having. I drained it with a gravity syphon and it got all but about 6" from the bottom.
My plan was to just hook up the vacuum hose to my pool pump & just waste out the remainder before cleaning & refilling this spring. Well, spring turned to summer faster than I wanted & here I am with 6" of gunk remaining in my pool.
My problem is that I can't get the vacuum to catch prime. I've filled the pump with water, filled the hoses with water, but I still can't get it to catch.
Suggestions???
Thanks in advance for your help...
