Hey All,
I'm having a weird issue with my pool circulation and it's making for an excessively long opening this season.
My kidney shaped pool has two skimmers and three returns. When I have the multiport set to recirculate, I have great pressure and circulation including suction through both skimmers. However, when the multiport is set to filtration, my circulation goes from perfectly fine to relatively weak over the course of about 20-30 minutes. Eventually, I'll have the skimmer farthest from the pump sucking at about 30% of normal and the skimmer nearest the pump with virtually no suction.
When I backwash or return the multiport to recirculate for a short while, the same thing happens. Good circulation for a few minutes then back to a trickle. As a result, I'm at the stage where the water is beginning to clear but is still milky and I'm needing to keep my FC at slam levels. Any suggestions for what is happening here or what I might check to remedy the situation would be greatly appreciated.
