Hi! I am using a drain king to try to unclog my skimmer line. The reason I think it's clogged is because the pump won't prime. (It wasn't working right, and we realized the basket at the pump was full of debris. Thinking some of the debris also got into the ine.). Tried the drain king from the skimmer side, but nothing came into the pump basket and the pool still won't prime. When I try to use it on the pump side shooting water back down the skimmer line towards the pool, the bladder won't stay in place and comes shooting out of the pipe and back into the area I inserted it from. Is my drain king too big? Is it something to do with this circular clear area (see pic)? The drain king goes into this area when I insert it.
Thanks for any input and ask questions if I'm not making sense!
