Hi,
Quick question, my concrete pool has two jandy valves by the sand filter, one controls the water fall and the other controls the amount of suction for the skimmers and dedicated pool vac line.
Issue I have is that if I turn the jandy valve completely to dedicated vac suction line "power" ( open end or with vac connected ) the pool pump starts to lose prime and the pressure in the sand filter drops very low. Since owning this home, I found myself adjusting the said jandy valve to center area to allow skimmers to operate as well as the dedicated pool suction vac line.
Recently I bought a Pentair Kreepy Krauly and I would like to increase suction to it so that it can crawl the walls, but if I do, I then introduce air into the system.
Any ideas on what areas to look at?
My observations so far, two skimmers, the nearest skimmer has one open hole for skimming, the one further away has two hole, one is blocked by a cap of some sort. Also the main drain I think of my pool is also capped off , but cannot be 100% sure. I did recall the previous owner used to use his pool vac inside the skimmer, then I also recall wondering why he did this since he had a dedicated suction vac line. maybe there is a reason?
Thanks,
