I had a hand towel sucked up thru my skimmer today. I was cleaning out basket and daughter dropped in. Any ideas on how to remove?

plumber's snake.

Which side.. Pump side or skimmer side? Not sure where its stuck. I would say there's probably 75 feet of pipe between the 2.

My guess is it's probably stuck at the first elbow, so I'd start at the pool end.

I'd also look into buying a dedicated snake, since you don't want what's on an older one in your pool.

Thanks so much. Just to added question... What's the difference between a plumbers snake and a dedicated snake?

Dedicated pool use only. Never in the toilet.

Oh... Haha. Thank you sir!
