I always worry about my skimmer baskets filling up and restricting flow if I leave the pool unattended for periods of time. Especially in the spring when there are lots of things falling into the pool. I have 2 skimmers and a bottom drain. If both skimmers fill up and have restricted flow, should I be concerned that the bottom drain would not provide enough flow to the pump? Is there anything I can do to prevent this? I also worry about the pump basket getting too much junk in it, which would be worse. Would skimmer socks help with that? I have a couple of vacations planned this year, one is only 4 days but the other is 10 days. I need to come up with a plan to keep the flow moving while I'm away. My last resort was to put the cover on the pool while I'm gone, but I'd rather not.
Any other ideas out there?
