Our shallow end skimmer has had low suction for quite some time now. We've let it go because the deep end skimmer has always pulled its weight, and truthfully, we've put a lot of money into the pool since buying this home, and we need a little break.
However, it seems (to me) that the deep end skimmer may not be beginning to have signs of less suction than usual, so now I think it's time for me to at least get the conversation going.
Is there an easy way for a complete novice to clear the lines or something? Or a way to see if there really is a problem? One thing that might be worth noting is that our pool is above our equipment as far as level goes. It honestly drives me crazy because if something goes wrong with the pool, I do believe all that water would be flowing right toward our house. Anyway...I don't know if that's necessary or helpful to know at all, but there is that fact anyway.
Thanks for the help! I always appreciate this site and those helping others.
