First time pool owner. My pump is quite a bit higher than the pool level so I was told to get this priming plug so that I can easily reprime the pump.
It works, but then the black rubber part separated from the metal part and got sucked into the skimmer pipe.
The pipe is 2 inch and the plug is 1.5 inch. It allows some flow but it's not completely blocked. The pool company tried vacuuming or blowing it but it won't work because it's not a complete seal. But the flow is impeded enough that my filter only gets 2 psi.
I'm at my witts end here. I just got this property and just want to swim, already spent over 7,000 dollars and it's still not swimmable. The pool company can't get the plug out. Do I need to dig the pool out and basically remake the pool?
