Isri,
Sorry to hear about your problems. I know nothing about popups so I'll see if I can find somebody that does. Marty, can you help? @mknauss
I hope this helps.

I only know what my gut says..............see if you can find the manual to the system and see how they say to clean it out. If there was that much stuff on the popup its self then I bet there is all kinds of stuff on the stuff from the pop up inside the line.
I am also going to call in a couple of people @Pool Clown @ajw22

Who manufactured you infloor system?
If you pullled the pop-up, the pipe is basically open. But that doesn't mean water will just start coming out of it. Most infloor systems are set up as zones - only certain pop-ups pop up at any given time. You may just have to leave the system running for a few minutes - maybe up to 10 or so - until the water vavle cycles to the zone you pulled the pop-up from. Leave the pop-up out for right now to be sure you are getting flow out of the pipe. Just hang out a while by the pool and monitor the spa area.

Its probably your water valve. If you live in AZ, Its probably an A&A system, or a Paramount.
