Swimming around in the deep end the other day, I put my hand over the inlet grate for the in-floor cleaner and noticed it had virtually no suction. Donned some goggles and went down for a closer look. There appears to be quite a bit of DG rock accumulated down there (and who knows what else). The pool is about 9 months old and the inlet sits under seven feet of water. I'm not sure if this is a one-off from the initial wave of construction and landscaping that has gone in since the beginning of the year, or if it may be a routine thing for our pool/backyard setup.
I'm asking, of course, because this is gonna be a pain in the rear to clean out! The grate is held in place by ten screws. I suppose I could partially drain the pool to improve access, or try to kluge up a long snorkel...or even get my diving cert & a rig if I'm going to have to go through this twice a year.
Any other ideas or similar experiences?
