That's an intriguing idea. What kind of line do you attach it to?

What we need to make is the equivalent of a biliary sweep device. In the medical world, you can stick a thin tube up the common bile duct, past a bunch of debris or stones, inflate a balloon at the tip of said tube, then pull the tube backwards, sweeping all of the debris in the duct out into the intestine. I have this exact problem currently...

Oh geez, I was reading along and I thought you were going to say you were due for this operation! Whew...

How about using an electrical fish tape from pump end of the line to knock it back to the skimmer? Or going at it with a plunger to work it loose, but might risk pushing it further down the line.
