Thanks! I'll check the skimmer. The skimmer basket is stuck in there tilted. Have to find a way to get it out...pepsiholic said:With mine I can either use the skimmer plate, or I can remove the skimmer basket and stick the end of the hose right down the skimmer. It's a fairly simple process. Just make sure to blow all of the air out of your hose before hooking it up. I do this by holding one end of the hose underwater and placing the other end of the hose up to the return to let the force of the water blow the air out.
