Hi,
Is there anything I can do to improve the performance of my skimmer? I have a floating weir skimmer and it struggles to pull in leaves when the water is at the height my pool guy recommended to keep it. I guess I can lower the water level (in the past when the water level has been lower it has been more effective), but wondered if that's the only solution.
It seems as though the water is higher than the top of the floating weir and therefoe a lot of debris just rests on the top of the water at the inlet (it just seems to get trapped between the water and the top of the inlet) - it doesn't seem to suck it down. The outlet jets seem to be firing and the water 'pull' from the skimmer basket seems ok. The pressure in the system seems fine.
