2nd Summer with my pool. Ever since install, I have operated things with all three of my return valves (Shallow Skimmer, Deep End Skimmer, and Main Drain) 100% open. Is this "Normal", or do people tend to try to "balance" for some optimum flow.
I'm asking because (to me) my Main Drains (I have two drains- for Safety- that operate from the same "T" plumbing line) seem like they could/should have more suction than they do. I get sentiment close to the floor drains that doesn't seem to "suck in" like I think it should.
Any thoughts appreciated. I'm an anal, pool- related Excel Spreadsheet wielding, mechanical engineer who just likes to know that "things are right". Thanks to this sight and BBB, my pool looks great and has truly been "Trouble Free" so far. [attachment=0:mzyw74hj]ImageUploadedByTapatalk 21373730733.492612.jpg[/attachment:mzyw74hj]
