So I'm helping a friend of mine bring his pool back from the dead... It's a rent house and the tenants didn't take care of the pool for close to a year and it was the nastiest swamp pit I've ever seen. Fast forward to draining the pool (also because the pump wasn't sucking anything from main drain)
It was no wonder...there was SO MUCH Crud once we drained it that it was impossible for it to function properly...
Well got to cleaning all the Crud out and noticed the pump was really struggling with sucking any water from the main pool drain....
This pool appears to be built in the mid 80's....
When I stick my hand/fingers into the main drain I could literally only get one finger inside....so I decided to put my phone down and take a picture.....WHOA....what the heck is that????
There's no way that 1.5HP pump will work properly from what I'm seeing....it's a 2" pipe but checkout what's inside of it....anyone got a clue?
Thanks
