Hi all,
I have an oblong pool with 1 main drain in the deep end of the pool and one in the attached spa. I also have 1 skimmer in the pool, towards the deep end. There is an in-ground valve that allows me to select main drain or skimmer and one valve that allows me to divert water from the filter to either the spa jets or to the pool.
I wasn't sure that the main drain in the pool was working, so I put a piece of tissue paper on top of the cover...and nothing! It just sat there. So, I now know that the main drain in the pool is not working. The skimmer works fine when selected, and the main drain in the spa works fine, but I am concerned that not having a bottom drain in the pool will not mix chemical as efficiently as it should, not to mention the amount of dirt I have settle at the bottom.
ANYWAY, is there anything I can do to try and fix the issue? I don't know if it is just a plug or if it was capped off at some point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am a scuba diver, so I do have equipment should I need to spend time at the bottom.
Thank you again!
