Do you have a hose bib on your lines between the pump and filter? I wasn't willing to go back and find out. You could add more water to the mix from that...Not everyone has a hose bib there but I find it nice for a variety of things.Tried that, but not enough flow even with the hose.
Our house is a hobby that got WAY out of hand. I'll probably be still plugging away at trying to finish it with my last breath.
No HB. Thought about it, but didn't see a need. What do you use yours for? The only time so far that it would have been nice was the initial water fill of the pad pipes. I opened up the highest Jandy and used that to fill 'em. Doesn't seem like a HB would help here. If I couldn't add enough from the hose at the skimmer to avoid sucking air, why would adding water between pump & filter help?
I did have the main and my sucker pipe open too for water supply to the pump.

When I redid my equipment pad.. the same thing you did, but mine was nowhere near as involved as yours was, The person I was using for advice suggested it. The old pad had a hose bib on in the same place and when I asked him what I needed one for, he said "For just in case." Well I use it for all kinds of stuff.No HB.

See that overnight, our forecasted rain total has dropped to not being much, but this little puppy doesn't seem to know where it's heading and that could change. As long as the wind doesn't kick up too much...

Thanks, Allen. But I sure hope I can beat his timetable. I do a lot of things, but there's absolutely no way I can do this DIY at my age. A gal has to know her limits (few as there may be ... or at least that I'll acknowledge).
Even better news: they just called and said they'll be out tomorrow afternoon.
He showed up??? As in you saw his wonderful face?? SWEET!
OH YEAH!! So will the just be putting a patch on it or will they sand down and try to blend it in?
Say what???
Just like you-so long as the FC is under SLAM level for your CYA it is safe for both of you!
This is not the local guy that I first called. This is an outfit that specializes in repairs.
Don't have deep details, but he said they open the crack up a bit to fill it better before putting the patch over it. I've been warned that it'll be white and won't match. Will try to take a bunch of pics.
