I am 99 percent sure i have clogged skimmer line.
I get no suction when vacuuming ..... i believe this goes back to my first year in this house when i didn't know better and vacuumed up a ton of leaves.
I have tried the drain king from the pump side and get a small amount of water flowing up into the skimmer... when i first turned it on i thought i was on to something as i had a bunch of bubbles and one big huge bubble but then it went back to not much flow. After an hour i had a continuous stream of tiny bubbles. I then reconnected the pump and tried to suck the stuff back through but now it is back to almost no flow. When i hooked the drain king back up i was back to square 1.
I think all of the 90's are in my shed where the plumbing all connects ..... should i start cutting and see if the clog is there??
On a bright note as i was using the drain king i did see a small leak so i know where my small suction side leak is located.
I have read about a CO2 gun to force more pressure through ..... if i am going to spend a bunch of money to hire someone am i just as well off cutting near the 90's and replacing??
