We had a storm with strong winds that blew about a thousand leaves into my pool (in-ground, 12x20 lap pool). The line from the skimmer in the deep end somehow got clogged. I tried running a garden hose into the line at the pump but that didn't work. I tried blowing out the line with my leaf blower and flushing out the line with 1/2 hp pump. The pump is able to get through the clog, but only enough to send bubbles up into the skimmer. Is there a product that will get through the clog without harming my pvc pipe?

Short of a long snake or strong compressor like a Cyclone or something, may a pressure bladder like a Drain King or the item below.
Thanks for the advice, Tex. Luckily, I left the pump keep running in the line while I ate lunch. When I got back, the line was free.
