Hi There Everyone.
I just bought an Intex Ultra 24'x12'x52" pool last weekend with an Intex SF80110 Sand Filter system. Its a 2800 GPH system.
My setup is as follows:
Dual Outlets to Sand Filter Pump.
Sand Filter to 2 Solar Heaters.
Solar Heaters back to pool utilizing the Intex Multi-Color LED Pool Fountain
Everything is working fine and pumping as it should. The pressure gauge on the Sand Filter is sitting in the green just below 10.
I hooked up an Intex Deluxe Pool Skimmer to one of the black outlet ports a couple days ago but right from the get-go, it didn't seem to be doing much. I reviewed a couple YouTube videos yesterday and tweaked my installation but it still doesn't seem to be doing much. This morning, my pool is filled with bugs, debris, etc etc and the skimmer is doing nothing. I watched one YouTube video where as soon as he turned the pump on, water was being dramatically sucked towards the skimmer.
I'm attaching a photo and a short video HERE showing all the debris around my skimmer and literally nothing being sucked in. I even tried blocking off one of the two outlets to force everything through the one with the skimmer attached, but it has not helped.
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks
Zach
