Hello!
I have closed my pool for the last 5 years, but for some reason i'm drawing a blank today and really need a sanity check.
I have an inground vinyl pool.
1 main drain
1 skimmer
2 main returns (shallow end and deep end)
2 returns at the steps on either side
1 return for the waterfall
There are three return valves at the pad (one for the 2 main returns, one for the 2 returns at the steps and 1 return for the waterfall).
As for the suction side, both the main drain and skimmer come to a jandy valve then to the pump.
I usually connect my compressor to the pump drain.
I set my filter to recirculate.
I keep all three returns closed to start with.
I kept the suction valve closed (I assume it closes both the skimmer and drain suction)
When I run the compressor - I get air coming out from the skimmer... Why?? If I have the suction valves closed and the returns closed, should I not be blowing out anything at all??
So.. I thought maybe I needed to plug the skimmer first? I thought skimmer was done last.. Please help me rationalize this.
Thanks!!
